🍥Mardi Gras King Cake Roll
Ingredients:
Cakes:
6 eggs
1 box (16.25 oz) Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ White Cake Mix
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup oil
Betty Crocker™ gel food colors (red, blue, green, and yellow)
Filling:
1 tub (12 oz.) Betty Crocker™ Whipped White Frosting
1 1/4 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed
Steps:
Cakes:
Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for dark or non-stick pans.)
Line bottom of two 10x15-inch pans with non-stick tin foil or parchment paper sprayed with baking spray.
In a large bowl, beat eggs on medium high speed using an electric mixer for about 6 minutes, until pale yellow and thick. When you lift be**er, eggs should fall in a ribbon.
Add cake mix, water, and oil and beat on low speed for 30 seconds.
Increase speed to medium and beat for 1 minute.
Divide batter equally among 3 bowls.
Use Betty Crocker™ Gel Colors to color one bowl of batter purple, another green, and another yellow.
Pour batter into individual disposable pastry bags or large zip-top bags.
Snip the tips off the bags and begin piping really thin layers of colored stripes at an angle across one pan. Start with a purple stripe, then add yellow, then green. Continue until you fill each pan with stripes.
Bake for about 10 minutes, until cakes spring back when touched.
Flip cakes out of their pans, peel off the parchment or foil, flip over onto a clean piece of parchment paper and immediately roll up the cake along with the parchment paper. Tape ends to secure the roll and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for one hour.
Filling:
Mix together the Betty Crocker™ Whipped White Frosting and the whipped topping.
When the cakes are ready, carefully unroll, peeling the parchment away. Spread half of the frosting over top of each cake, then re-roll.
Refrigerate until ready to serve, then cut into slices.
Suggestions:
🔸 Change it up and use other cake flavors like chocolate, pineapple, lemon, spice. I know they aren't "traditional" but that's okay make it your own!
🔸 Same with the filling. Add some drained, crushed pineapple, add shredded coconut, use a different flavor frosting, go crazy and be creative!
🔸 This would be great as a piña colada king cake. Use pineapple cake mix, add rum or rum flavoring to the frosting, and toss in some shredded coconut or coco lopez in the cake and/or frosting.
