Step-by-Step Instructions for Easter Cake Roll
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper, greasing lightly.
  3. Beat the eggs and granulated sugar until pale and thick for about 3 minutes.
  4. Sift and gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt into the egg mixture.
  5. Spread the batter evenly in the pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden.
  6. Dust a kitchen towel with powdered sugar and invert the cake onto it. Roll up the cake while it's hot and let cool for 30 minutes.
  7. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  8. Unroll the cake and spread the whipped filling evenly, then sprinkle with colorful sprinkles before rolling back up.
