Cotton Candy Swiss Cake Roll

This Cotton Candy Swiss Cake Roll is a light, fluffy dessert featuring a delicate vanilla sponge wrapped around a sweet cotton candy-infused cream filling, perfect for celebrations and sweet cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup cotton candy syrup
  • Pink and blue cotton candy, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar on high speed until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour and salt. Gently fold into egg mixture until just combined.
  4. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake 10-12 minutes until the cake springs back when touched lightly.
  5. While cake is baking, whip heavy cream to soft peaks, then gently fold in cotton candy syrup.
  6. Remove cake from oven and immediately invert onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off parchment paper.
  7. Roll the cake up in the towel starting from a short side. Let cool completely.
  8. Unroll the cooled cake and spread the cotton candy cream evenly over the surface. Roll cake up again without the towel.
  9. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before slicing. Garnish with cotton candy if desired and serve.

Notes

For an extra fun presentation, serve slices with a small tuft of fresh cotton candy on top just before serving.
