Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Christmas Roll Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and lightly greasing it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir them together until evenly mixed.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat your eggs vigorously until they become pale and thick, about 3-5 minutes. Gradually fold into the dry mixture.
  4. Carefully pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into an even layer.
  5. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.
  6. Immediately flip the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Roll the cake and towel together.
  7. Once cooled, gently unroll the cake while still leaving it attached to the towel. Spread the cranberry filling evenly.
  8. Roll the cake back up without the towel and place it seam-side down on a serving plate.
  9. Spread or pipe whipped cream over the top of the rolled cake.
  10. Sprinkle your favorite festive toppings over the whipped cream.
