Ingredients
Scale
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Confectioners’ sugar (for dusting)
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Assorted Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs on high speed for 5 minutes or until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually beat in sugar. Stir in water and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to egg mixture, beating just until smooth.
- Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Immediately turn cake onto a kitchen towel dusted with confectioners’ sugar. Gently peel off parchment paper. Roll up cake in the towel jelly-roll style, starting with a short side. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Unroll cake. Spread with whipped cream; roll up again. Place seam side down on a serving platter. Dust with confectioners’ sugar and decorate with Christmas sprinkles.
Notes
- Make sure the cake is completely cooled before unrolling to prevent it from cracking.
- Use fresh whipped cream for the best texture, or store-bought if you’re in a hurry.
- You can add festive touches like colored sugar or edible glitter to make it extra Christmas-y.
