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.

  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.
