A rainbow cake roll is a vibrant, delicious dessert that’s as fun to make as it is to eat. Follow this simple guide to create a colorful treat that wows!
Ingredients & Prep:
You’ll need basic ingredients for the sponge cake: 4 eggs (separated), 60g sugar, 60g all-purpose flour, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. For the filling, 200ml heavy cream (whipped with 2 tbsp sugar) works perfectly. Food gels in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple are essential for the rainbow effect.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Make the Sponge: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 10x15-inch baking sheet with parchment. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gradually add egg yolks and sugar. Gently fold in sifted flour and vanilla.
2. Create the Rainbow: Divide the batter into 6 equal bowls. Tint each with a different food gel. Spread each color thinly in the baking sheet, one after the other, to form a rainbow gradient.
3. Bake & Cool: Bake for 12-15 minutes until set. Let it cool slightly, then invert onto a clean towel. Spread whipped cream evenly, leaving a 1-inch border.
4. Roll It Up: Gently roll the cake with the towel, starting from the short end. Chill for 1 hour, then slice and serve.
Tips:
- Work quickly when spreading batter to prevent colors from bleeding.
- For a neater roll, roll the cake while warm but not hot.
- Add sprinkles or fresh fruit for extra flair!
With its bright layers and creamy center, this rainbow cake roll is sure to delight everyone. Enjoy your baking adventure!
