Red White And Blue Tie Dye Swiss Roll Cake Recipe By Tasty Food

RED, WHITE AND BLUE CAKE ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush an 11-by-17-inch jelly roll pan or rimmed baking sheet with vegetable oil and line with parchment paper; brush the paper with oil and dust with flour, tapping out the excess.
• Make the cake: Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, milk, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl. Add the flour mixture in 2 batches, whisking until incorporated. Transfer half of the batter (about 1 1/2 cups) to a separate bowl. Tint one batch red and the other batch blue with the food coloring.
• Spread the red and blue batters across the width of the prepared pan in alternating stripes, making each stripe about 2 inches wide (don't worry if the stripes aren't perfectly straight). Bake until the top springs back when pressed, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool about 3 minutes in the pan. Dust with confectioners' sugar and spread a clean kitchen towel (not terry cloth) on top. Place a cooling rack on the towel, then invert the cake onto the rack; peel off the parchment. Roll up the cake and towel together, starting at a short end. Let cool completely on the rack, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Make the frosting: Beat the butter and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Add the marshmallow cream and vanilla; beat on medium-high speed until fluffy, 2 to 3 more minutes. Beat in the confectioners' sugar, then beat in the milk (the frosting should be spreadable).
• Gently unroll the cake (don't worry if the ends are still curled up). Spread with half of the frosting all the way to the edges. Reroll the cake (without the towel) and trim the ends. Cover with the remaining frosting.

TRIPLE BERRY ANGEL FOOD CAKE ROLL (A RED, WHITE AND BLUE DESSERT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F and line the bottom of a 10x15x1" rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper (make sure that it lays flat on the bottom). Do not grease the pan.
• Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Pour into prepared pan and bake for about 20 minutes, until the top is golden and the edges start to crack. *NOTE: It will rise up in the pan significantly, even over the top. But even though it gets high it should not flow over -- if you're concerned, slip an extra baking sheet or a piece of foil underneath just in case.
• Loosen cake from the edges of the pan while it's still warm -- it's going to be a little sticky, like angel food cake is, but it will come away easily.
• Spread out a clean kitchen towel and sprinkle evenly with ¼ cup powdered sugar. Flip warm cake out onto the towel, peel off the parchment paper and immediately roll up starting at the short end, WITH the towel inside. Let cool completely (at room temperature for 1-2 hours or pop it in the fridge or freeze momentarily if you're impatient like me! You don't want it hot inside when you add your filling.).
• In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add ¾ cup powdered sugar, vanilla and cream and beat on low until combined, then on high for 3-4 minutes until fluffy and stiff peaks form.
• Unroll cooled cake (you can just leave it laying on the towel) and spread with half of the filling and top with half of the berries. Carefully roll back up (this time without the towel!) and place on a serving plate. Spread top and sides with remaining filling and top with remaining berries. Serve immediately (leftovers are best eaten within 24 hours).

TIE-DYE CAKE ROLL

Steps:

• For the tie-dye cake: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Spray the bottom and sides of a 17 1/2-by-12 1/2-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray, line the bottom with parchment paper and spray the parchment.
• Beat the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium speed until light and foamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar, increase the speed to medium high and continue to beat until shiny stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the milk, oil, vanilla and egg yolks in a medium bowl. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and remaining 1 cup confectioners' sugar into a large bowl. Whisk the egg yolk mixture into the flour mixture until smooth and thick. Divide the batter between 6 small bowls. Tint each bowl a separate color with 1 to 2 drops of gel food coloring: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Stir each batter until no streaks remain. Divide the whipped egg white mixture between the 6 bowls (about 1/2 cup each), then gently fold until the batters are fluffy and no streaks remain.
• Drop large spoonfuls of the batter on the prepared baking sheet, alternating between the colors and making sure the batter reaches the edges of the baking sheet. Drag a toothpick or wooden skewer through the colors to create a marble-like tie-dye effect; do not overmix or the colors will become muddy. Bake until the cake springs back when gently pressed, about 12 minutes.
• Immediately sift confectioners' sugar generously over the top of the warm cake and loosen the edges with a knife. Lay a clean non-terry cloth kitchen towel over the cake. Place a second baking sheet on top of the towel. Holding the baking sheets together, flip the cake to invert it onto the towel. Remove the top baking sheet and parchment. Starting at a short end, roll up the cake and towel together into a spiral. Transfer seam-side down to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 45 minutes.
• For the vanilla frosting: Fill a medium saucepan about one-third full with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Whisk the sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, cream of tartar, salt, egg whites and 3 tablespoons water in a large glass or metal bowl heatproof (see Cook's Note).
• Set the bowl over the saucepan, but not touching the water. Beat the mixture with a handheld electric mixer on low speed until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. Increase the speed to medium high and continue to beat until the mixture is glossy and holds firm peaks, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and continue to beat until the mixture cools slightly, about 30 seconds more.
• While the frosting is still slightly warm, start to assemble the cake. Spoon about 3/4 cup of the frosting into a pastry bag fitted with an open-star pastry tip. Set aside.
• Gently unroll the cake, then spread on the remaining frosting (about 1 1/2 cups) with an offset spatula, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edges. Top with the rainbow sprinkles. Starting at a short end, roll up the cake into a spiral and transfer it seam-side down to a cutting board. Use a dry pastry brush to brush away any confectioner's sugar on the cake roll as needed. Trim the ends with a serrated knife, then transfer to a platter. Pipe small rosettes and stars of frosting on top of the cake roll, then top with more sprinkles. Set aside at room temperature until the frosting is set and completely cool, about 30 minutes. The cake roll can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
