This pink velvet cake roll is the perfect dessert to whip up for any special moment with your loved one. The cake is super soft and stays moist for days. It has the perfect amount of filling which is light and perfectly sweetened. It’s a mixture of cream cheese, cool whip, and a little powdered sugar. This cake roll was inspired by a classic red velvet cake roll with a twist. After baking, place the cake in the fridge for about 2 hours to make sure the frosting is nice and firm making it easier to slice the cake. To start, you will bake the cakes in a thin on a large sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Once out of the oven’, they are immediately rolled in a confectioner’s sugar-dusted towel to cool.

Doing this prevents the cake from cracking when it is filled with frosting and rerolled. After the cake has cooled, they are spread with cream cheese and white chocolate frosting and are rolled back up. Once the cake is set up in the refrigerator, remove and begin to assemble.
