Stitch-Inspired Tropical Blue Cake Roll

A delightful tropical-themed cake roll filled with coconut and pineapple flavors, perfect for celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 tablespoon blue food coloring
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • For the frosting:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients in a small bowl: whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Beat the eggs in a large bowl until thick and pale, about 3-5 minutes. Gradually add the granulated sugar while beating.
  4. Add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk to the egg mixture and mix until smooth.
  5. Combine the flour mixture with the wet ingredients slowly, mixing on low speed, until fully incorporated.
  6. Add the crushed pineapple and food coloring to the batter, mixing until the desired shade of blue is achieved.
  7. Bake the cake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool the cake in the pan for 5 minutes, then invert onto a powdered sugar-dusted towel and peel off parchment.
  9. Roll the cake up with the towel starting from one end. Let it cool completely while rolled.
  10. Prepare the frosting by beating the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  11. Unroll the cooled cake and spread frosting evenly, leaving a small border.
  12. Roll the cake back up without the towel, seam-side down on a platter.
  13. Frost the outside of the cake roll with the remaining frosting.
