Recipe Added:  12/15/2013
2 eggs
3 eggs yolks, save 2 whites
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup cake flour, sifted
3 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup red, green Wilton batter bits
1 Tbsp sugar
Vanilla Buttercream
1 cup butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
3-4 Tbsp red & green sprinkles
1 tsp vanilla
1-3 tsp heavy cream

Decorations
4 oz white chocolate
red & green sprinkles

Heat the oven to 450F. Line a 17x12" jelly pan with parchment paper. Set aside. In a mixing bowl add eggs, yolks, and sugar. With paddle attachment, beat on medium speed 3-5 minutes until pale in color and thickened. Add vanilla and beat a few more seconds. Sift flour and cornstarch over egg mixture and gently fold in with a spatula. Fold in batter bits.

In a separate bowl, add 2 egg whites and 1 Tbsp sugar. Whisk until firm peaks form. With spatula, fold whipped egg whites into egg yolks. Pour batter into prepared pan, spread evenly, and bake 6-7 minutes until golden brown and springs back when touched. Remove cake from oven, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and invert onto a clean dish towel. Remove parchment paper, sprinkle with more powdered sugar, and roll up cake with the towel. Place on a wire rack to cool.

Vanilla Buttercream  With mixer whisk attachment, whip butter 2-3 minutes on medium speed. Reduce speed and slowly add sugar, 1/2 cup at a time until incorporated. Increase speed and whip 2 more minutes. Add few drops of cream until desired consistency. Fold in sprinkles. Gently unroll cake and spread Buttercream evenly. Roll up again and refrigerate 2 hours. Melt white chocolate in double boiler or microwave and pour over the cake. Add more sprinkles. Let chocolate set before slicing.

Notes
Cake Flour  Add 1 Tbsp cornstarch to a 1/2 cup measuring cup. Fill remaining space with flour. Pour into a bowl and whisk to combine. Measure out 1/3 cup.
