Japanese Cotton Candy Swiss Cake Roll 🍬🎂

Light, fluffy, and sweet, this Japanese Cotton Candy Swiss Cake Roll is a delightful treat that's fun and easy to make!

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornstarch

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 large eggs

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup cotton candy (for flavor and decoration)

For the Whipped Cream Filling:

1 cup heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15 inch baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.

3. Prepare Cake Batter:

In another bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.

4. Add Cotton Candy:

Gently fold the cotton candy into the batter, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.

5. Bake Cake:

Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake is golden and springs back when lightly touched.

6. Roll Cake:

Once baked, let the cake cool for a few minutes. Place a clean kitchen towel over the cake and gently roll it up from one end while it’s still warm. Let it cool completely in the rolled position.

7. Prepare Filling:

In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

8. Assemble Cake Roll:

Unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream evenly over the surface. Carefully roll the cake back up without the towel.

9. Decorate:

Sprinkle additional cotton candy on top for decoration.

10. Chill and Serve:

Refrigerate the cake roll for at least an hour before slicing and serving.
