Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a jelly roll pan (10x15 inches) with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the egg and sugar mixture until well combined.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overwork the batter.
- Add blue food coloring gradually, mixing until you achieve your desired hue.
- Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it evenly.
Baking
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly pressed.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly in the pan before inverting it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
Rolling and Frosting
- Roll the cake up tightly in the towel and let it sit for about 30 minutes to cool completely.
- Once cool, unroll the cake, spread a layer of cream cheese frosting on top, and roll it up again without the towel.
- Decorate with shredded coconut and sliced tropical fruits if desired, and it’s ready to serve!
Notes
Store wrapped tightly in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for 3-4 days; freeze before frosting for longer storage. Allow to thaw overnight before frosting.
