Step-by-Step Instructions for Japanese Cotton Candy Cake Roll
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line an 8”x12” baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, vegetable oil, cotton candy extract, and granulated sugar. In another bowl, sift together cake flour and sea salt, making a well to combine wet and dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until frothy. Gradually add granulated sugar and whip until stiff peaks form. Gently mix in gel food coloring.
- Fold meringue into the cake batter in three additions, then spread in prepared baking pan, tapping out air bubbles.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden and springs back when touched. Cool in the pan for a few minutes, then on a wire rack.
- Bloom gelatin with water, heat until dissolved, then whip heavy cream with sugar until stiff. Mix in gelatin and cotton candy extract.
- Spread whipped cream over cooled cake, roll it tightly using parchment, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Slice the cake roll and serve after trimming edges for a neat finish.
