A delightful and colorful Cotton Candy Ice Cream Roll Cake that combines the flavors of cotton candy with a light sponge cake and whipped cream filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp milk (room temperature)
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp cotton candy extract (or vanilla if unavailable)
- Pink & blue cotton candy pieces (optional, for swirl effect)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for topping)
- 2–3 Tbsp milk (adjust for drizzling consistency)
- Few drops pink food coloring
- Assorted sprinkles, candy pearls, or cotton candy pieces for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs until thick and pale. Gradually add sugar and vanilla.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into the egg mixture.
- Stir in milk until just combined.
- Spread batter evenly in the pan and bake 10–12 minutes or until lightly golden.
- While warm, turn the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
- Peel off parchment paper. Roll the cake up with the towel (short side) and let it cool completely.
- In a chilled bowl, beat cream, powdered sugar, and cotton candy extract until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in small bits of pink & blue cotton candy for a colorful swirl (optional).
- Unroll cooled cake and spread whipped cream filling evenly.
- Roll it back up (without towel). Wrap in plastic and freeze for at least 2 hours.
- Mix powdered sugar, milk, and pink food coloring for glaze.
- Drizzle over the frozen roll cake.
- Decorate with sprinkles, candy pearls, or cotton candy just before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for better volume.
- Use a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking when rolling the cake.
- Adjust the amount of milk in the glaze for desired consistency.
