Ingredients:
For the cake:
4 eggs
1 cup of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
½ cup of all-purpose flour
¼ cup of cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of baking powder
¼ teaspoon of salt
For the filling:
1 cup of heavy cream
1 cup of mini marshmallows
½ cup of crushed candy canes
¼ cup of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Once you have all of your ingredients ready, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until everything is fully incorporated. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake the cake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. While the cake is still warm, carefully roll it up from one short end to the other using the parchment paper to help you. Let it cool completely.
Meanwhile, make the filling by whipping the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and crushed candy canes. Unroll the cooled cake and spread the filling evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll the cake back up, this time without the parchment paper. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. When ready to serve, unwrap the cake and dust with powdered sugar for a snowy effect. Slice and enjoy your festive Christmas log with a gooey marshmallow surprise in every bite.
