16 Candy Cane Swiss Roll Recipe Cook Up Something Special!

Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar

Wet Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup milk

Filling:

• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 1/4 cup crushed candy canes

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10x15 inch baking pan and line with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, and both sugars.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. While the cake is still warm, gently roll it up (with the parchment paper) from the short end. Let it cool completely.
8. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add in the powdered sugar and peppermint extract, and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
9. Unroll the cake and remove the parchment paper. Spread the peppermint whipped cream evenly over the cake, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
10. Sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the whipped cream.
11. Roll the cake back up, starting from the short end. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
12. Slice and serve your delicious candy cane swiss roll!

Tips and Tricks:

• Make sure to use room temperature eggs for the cake batter, as they will mix more easily and create a lighter texture.
• To crush the candy canes, place them in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin or mallet to break them into small pieces.
• For an extra festive touch, drizzle melted white chocolate over the top of the rolled cake before slicing and serving.
