Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup cotton candy flavored syrup
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Food coloring (optional)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, lightly greased.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs with granulated sugar until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gently fold dry ingredients into the egg mixture until combined, being careful not to deflate the batter.
  5. Stir in cotton candy flavored syrup and a few drops of food coloring if desired for a pastel hue.
  6. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  7. Immediately invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off parchment paper and roll the cake with the towel from the short edge. Let cool completely.
  8. In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  9. Unroll the cooled cake gently and spread the whipped cream evenly over the surface.
  10. Roll the cake again without the towel, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing.
  11. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

For an extra pop of flavor, add a sprinkle of edible glitter or mini cotton candy pieces on top before serving.
