Print Recipe

Light and fluffy, the Cotton Candy Swiss Cake Roll features a whimsical swirl of pastel sponge cake filled with a sweet vanilla cream, perfect for a playful dessert or special occasion treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar, divided
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Food coloring: pink and light blue
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
  2. In a large bowl, beat egg yolks with ⅓ cup sugar until thick and pale. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Gently fold in sifted flour and cornstarch until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining ⅓ cup sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  5. Fold the egg whites carefully into the yolk mixture in three additions, maintaining airiness.
  6. Divide batter equally into two bowls. Tint one pink and one light blue with food coloring.
  7. Alternately spoon colors into the pan for a cotton candy swirl effect. Use a skewer to lightly swirl colors together for a marbled pattern.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back to touch.
  9. While warm, invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off parchment paper. Roll the cake gently with the towel from the short end and let cool completely.
  10. In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  11. Unroll the cooled cake carefully. Spread whipped cream evenly over the surface, then reroll without the towel.
  12. Dust the rolled cake with powdered sugar and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, add a tablespoon of cotton candy-flavored syrup to the whipped cream filling before spreading.
