Pink Velvet Roll Cake with Rainbow Chip Frosting

Steps

• 1

  Cakes: Heat oven to 375ºF (350ºF for dark or nonstick pans). Line the bottom of two 9x13-inch pans with non-stick tin foil or parchment paper sprayed with baking spray.
• 2

  In a large bowl, beat eggs using an electric mixer for about 6 minutes until pale yellow and thick. When you lift the beater, the eggs should fall in a ribbon.
• 3

  Add cake mix, water, oil, chocolate extract and pink food coloring and mix on low speed for 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and beat for 1 minute.
• 4

  Equally divide batter among the two pans. Bake for 12-16 minutes, until cake springs back when lightly touched in the center.
• 5

  Immediately turn one cake upside down onto a clean kitchen towel sprinkled with 1/4 cup powdered sugar. Repeat with the other cake. Peel foil or parchment paper off cakes. Sprinkle a light dusting of powdered sugar over cakes.
• 6

  While still hot, carefully roll up cakes and towel from narrow end. Cool for 10 minutes at room temperature, then place in refrigerator for 1 hour.
• 7

  Filling: Combine Rainbow Chip frosting with the whipped topping.
• 8

  Unroll cakes and spread half the filling over each. Re-roll. Brush any excess powdered sugar off cake using a pastry brush.
• 9

  Glaze: Combine powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk and almond extract. If needed, add small amounts of milk until you get a nice thick pourable glaze. Pour half over each cake. Sprinkle on pink jimmies.
