Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together 4 large room-temperature eggs and ¾ cup of granulated sugar on high for 5–6 minutes until thick and pale.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg-sugar mixture using a spatula until just combined.
- Divide the batter equally into four bowls and add gel food coloring in pastel shades, mixing well.
- Pour each colored batter into separate piping bags and pipe horizontal stripes onto the prepared pan.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the surface springs back when pressed.
- Turn the cake onto a clean towel dusted with powdered sugar and roll it tightly while warm. Cool for about 45 minutes.
- Whip together 8 oz of softened cream cheese and 1 cup of powdered sugar until smooth. Whip 1½ cups of cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form and fold into the cream cheese mixture.
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread the filling evenly, then re-roll it tightly without the towel. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Spread whipped frosting on the outside, and sprinkle pastel decorations before slicing and serving.
