Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 cup cotton candy flavored syrup or extract
  • Pastel food coloring (pink, blue, purple) – optional
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cotton candy for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15×10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour and salt; set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks with 1/4 cup sugar until thick and pale. Stir in cotton candy syrup and a few drops of food coloring if using.
  4. In another bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold flour mixture into yolk mixture. Then carefully fold in the egg whites until just combined, preserving airiness.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly. Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl pastel colors into the batter if desired.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until cake springs back when touched.
  8. Immediately invert cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off parchment paper.
  9. Starting from a short edge, roll the cake gently in the towel. Cool completely.
  10. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  11. Unroll cooled cake and spread whipped cream evenly. Re-roll without towel.
  12. Chill 1 hour before slicing. Garnish with cotton candy on top if desired and serve.

Notes

For extra flair, dust the finished slices with edible glitter or serve alongside fresh berries.
