Coconut Cake Roll Dessert (Print Version)

Fluffy cake rolled with coconut cream and sprinkled with shredded coconut. Light, sweet, and festive.

# Ingredients:

→ Cake Batter

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
06 - 1/2 cup whole milk
07 - 1/2 cup vegetable oil
08 - 4 large eggs
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 - 1 teaspoon coconut extract

→ Filling and Garnish

11 - 1 cup heavy whipping cream
12 - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
13 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
14 - 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

# Steps:

01 - Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a large bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and shredded coconut until fully incorporated.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together whole milk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and coconut extract until smooth.
04 - Pour wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and just combined.
05 - Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until light golden and the surface springs back when touched.
06 - Dust a clean kitchen towel generously with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
07 - Immediately after baking, invert cake onto the prepared towel. Peel off parchment. Starting from the short end, roll the cake up with the towel and let cool completely.
08 - In a cold bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
09 - When cake is fully cooled, unroll gently. Spread whipped cream evenly over the surface, then reroll without the towel.
10 - Set rolled cake seam-side down on a platter. Sprinkle top with remaining shredded coconut. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.

# Notes:

01 - Rolling the cake while warm prevents cracking and gives the roll its classic spiral shape.
