📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350 °F. Line a jelly roll (10x15”) pan with foil and spray with nonstick baking spray (the kind with flour) or grease and flour the foil. If using parchment paper, spray with cooking spray.
2
Whisk together salt, baking powder, and flour. Set aside.
baking powder1 teaspoon(15 ml) vegetable oil1 tablespoon
3
Beat eggs at high speed for ⏱️ 5 minutes, until frothy and dark yellow. Beat in sugar, oil, and vanilla extract.
large eggs3(15 ml) vegetable oil1 tablespoonvanilla extract1 teaspoon
4
Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients just until blended.
5
Spread in prepared pan. Batter will be in a very thin layer and you will need to use a wooden spoon or spatula to spread it to all the corners of the pan. Bake for ⏱️ 10-17 minutes. You know the cake is done when a toothpick comes out clean and it springs back when touched.
6
While the cake is baking, set a clean kitchen towel out on a large work surface. Sprinkle liberally with powdered sugar (about 1/4 cup). As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, turn it over on the kitchen towel sprinkled with powdered sugar. Remove foil carefully.
(15 ml) vegetable oil1 tablespoonPowdered sugar (to aid in rolling)powdered sugar2 cupsPowdered sugar (for dusting)
7
Working at the short end, fold the edge of the towel over the cake. Roll tightly, rolling up the cake into the towel.
8
Let cool completely while rolled, at least one hour.
9
While the cake is cooling, make the frosting. Beat the butter until it’s fluffy. Beat in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth, adding heavy cream for consistency.

10
Divide the frosting into two bowls. Tint one with blue and one with red food coloring. Place each color frosting in it’s own ziploc bag, for easy piping onto the cake.
11
When cake is cool, carefully unroll the towel. Snip the corner off the blue frosting and pipe evenly spaced stripes horizontally on the cake. Spread slightly with a knife or offset spatula. Repeat with the red. Gently but tightly, re-roll the cake and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill until it firms up a bit, at least thirty minutes to one hour. Cake can be wrapped in plastic and frozen for up to one month.
12
Before serving, top with Cool Whip or fresh whipped cream and sprinkles.
