Vanilla Cake Mix

Using a standing mixer, beat the eggs until thick and light color, about 6 minutes

Mix in the strawberry cake mix, water, and oil until combined.

Pour into a bowl and set to the side.

*You will use only ½ of this batter

Putting it all together

Pour both of the batters onto the cookie sheet, creating any design you desire with the batters, spread the batters evenly over the tray.

Place the baking tray into the oven on the middle rack in the center of the oven.

Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the cake bounces back when lightly touched.

Place a larger sheet of parchment paper onto the counter and dust powdered sugar on top of the parchment paper.

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.

Now you are going to flip the cake over onto the parchment paper very carefully.

Remove the parchment paper from the back of the rolled cake

Use the end of the bottom parchment paper and carefully roll up the cake into a log.

Use a bakers string to tie the rolled cake so it doesn’t unroll.

Allow the cake to cool on the counter for 1 hour before moving into the fridge

Frosting

Using a standing mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and heavy whipping cream until combined, smooth and holds a peak.

Remove the rolled cake from the fridge and gently unroll the cake

Spread the frosting onto the cake and gently roll the cake back up

Make sure to tie the cake again so it doesn’t unroll.

Place the rolled cake into the fridge for 40 minutes.

Remove cake from fridge and place the cake onto a cutting board or counter

Garnish with a dusting of powder sugar.

*I use the leftover batter to make cupcakes. Pop them in the freezer and they’re ready for any occasion.
