Ingredients

Cake

  • 6 egg whites large - room temperature
  • 1 tsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup + 1 tbsp cake flour

pastel gel food coloring

    Cream Cheese Frosting

    • 8 oz cream cheese softened
    • ½ cup butter softened (unsalted sweet cream)
    • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

    confectioner’s sugar for dusting

      Instructions

      Cake

      • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
      • Spray a 13x18 baking sheet with baking spray and then line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
      • Using a standing mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites, lemon juice, and salt until the mixture becomes foamy.
      • Gradually whisk in the sugar.
      • Continue to beat until the mixture forms soft peaks.
      • Gently fold in the cake flour until combined and smooth.
      • Divide the cake batter into 4 bowls. Then mix in a few drops of food coloring (one ofr each bowl) until you reach your desired shade.
      • Alternate between all 4 colors, dropping dollops of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet.
      • Using a flat spatula, spread the batter into an even layer.
      • Bake in the oven for 12 minutes or until it springs back when gently pressed with your finger.
      • Remove and let the cake cool for 5 minutes before removing it from the pan.
      • To remove from the pan - place a piece of parchment paper on top of the baked cake.
      • Then take another baking sheet that is the same size as the one that you baked the cake. Place it on top of the parchment.
      • Then gently hold the two sheet pans together and flip the pans over.
      • Gently pull up the one pan on top - this is the one the cake was in. It should release and the cake should now be on top of the back side of the other pan.
      • Remove the parchment paper, lay a lint-free towel over the top of the cake, and then tightly roll the cake into a spiral.
      • Place the rolled cake into the fridge and allow it to cool for a few hours.

      Frosting

      • Using the standing mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter, confectioner’s sugar, and vanilla until combined and smooth.
      • Once the cake is chilled enough, carefully unroll the cake.
      • Spread the prepared frosting over the entire top of the cake, making an even layer.
      • Reroll the cake back up tightly, but gently.
      • Place it back in the fridge until ready to serve.
      • When ready to serve, dust the entire cake in more confectioner’s sugar.
