• tempo di preparazione: 15 minutes
• tempo totale: 4 hours 53 minutes

Ingredienti

½ cup salted butter (softened)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

3 cups powdered sugar

3-4 tablespoons milk

Red and green food coloring gel

Istruzioni

Preheat the oven to 325°F/160°C, and prepare a jelly roll pan with shortening and flour. This step will ensure that your cake does not stick. Set aside.

Prepare the cake batter according to the box directions, and divide it into 2 bowls. Add a color of food coloring to each bowl and mix until the colors are uniform throughout. Transfer the batter into 2 ziplock bags, and cut a small corner off of each bag.

In a diagonal pattern, squeeze strips of each color until the pan is filled. If you have batter remaining, you can go back and fill in as needed. Then gently shake the pan to even out the cake batter.

Using a toothpick or the tip of a knife, draw swirls in the batter to create a tie dye look.

Bake for 18 minutes or until the cake is set. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes.

Place a towel on a flat surface and sprinkle flour on it, then flip the cake out of the pan and onto the towel. Sprinkle a small amount of flour on the top side of the cake and cover it with another towel. Starting on one end, roll the cake up with a towel on each side. Try to keep it as tight as possible, and allow the cake to cool down completely (leave it rolled).

When cool, gently unroll it and prepare the frosting.

To prepare the frosting, using a stand or a hand mixer, beat butter and vanilla together. Add powdered sugar and enough milk to reach the consistency you desire.

Spread the prepared frosting on the cake covering the top of the cake.

Begin rolling the cake from one end, using one towel to help guide you. When the cake is completely rolled, wrap the towel tightly around it to help hold its form. Place the cake roll in the freezer for 4 hours then slice and serve.
