– 10g cotton candy flavoring
– 150g cotton candy (varied colors)
– Pink food coloring (optional)
Necessary Tools:

Ingredient Swaps and Additions:
Feeling creative? You can easily swap the cotton candy flavoring for other fun flavors like strawberry or bubblegum to give this roll a unique twist! For colorful variations, why not mix in some chocolate chips or cookie crumbs into the whipped cream filling? You could also use gluten-free flour as a substitute for regular flour if needed.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line your baking tray with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, prompting joy with its sweetness.
3. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into another bowl, then gently fold these dry ingredients into the egg mixture, adding the milk in between, until everything is just combined. If you want to amp up the fun factor, now’s the time to add some pink food coloring!
4. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared tray and bake for 10-12 minutes, keeping an eye out for that lovely golden springiness.
5. Upon removing the cake from the oven, deftly turn it out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel away the parchment and gently roll it up in the towel to cool.
6. While the cake cools, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and cotton candy flavoring until you reach those stiff peaks that scream indulgence.
7. Once cool, unroll the cake carefully, spread the whipped cream filling evenly, and generously sprinkle real cotton candy over the top.
8. Reroll the cake tightly without the towel; then pop it in the fridge for an hour to let everything set up perfectly.
9. Slice the roll and serve, garnished with more cotton candy if you’re feeling extra whimsical!
