Birthday Cake Roll – this easy yellow cake roll recipe is filled with sprinkles and the BEST EVER chocolate frosting recipe! Everyone loved the cake but they RAVED about this frosting.
I’ve gone 2 whole months without posting a cake roll recipe, so I felt it was time for another one, ha! This time it’s all about the BIRTHDAY CAKE! With sprinkles, of course.
Last week my mother-in-law turned 80. The entire family flew in from San Diego to surprise her. We had Jordan and the great-grandkids go to her front door to surprise her. I gave Jordan my phone to video tape the look on her face…and she forgot to record. But that’s okay – she was super surprised and even got teary. That’s what big birthdays are all about, right? Well, that and cake!
Since she’s the one who taught me how to make cake rolls, I thought it was fitting to make one for her as her birthday cake. I love a good old fashioned birthday cake: yellow cake with chocolate frosting. I decided to turn that cake into a cake roll and add sprinkles, because sprinkles make me happy.
The yellow cake base is the one from my Strawberry Shortcake Cake Roll. I have a few chocolate frosting recipes I love but I wanted to try something new; something fluffy and light and rich. This frosting is the PERFECT frosting. I know I say that a lot, but this one is now my go-to frosting recipe. I’m never making regular old chocolate buttercream again! Everyone loved the cake but they especially commented about the frosting and how good it was.
If you’ve never made a cake roll before, don’t worry. It’s super easy, I promise. You just need a jelly roll pan which is usually about 10×15″ with 1-inch sides.
I get asked all the time if you can use a cake mix to make a cake roll, and you can, but you need to edit the recipe a little. My cake recipe tastes better too – but if you really want to use a cake mix, try this recipe with your favorite mix.
