Easter Cake Roll

Ingredients:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Assorted food coloring
Sprinkles (for decoration)
Directions:
Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
Make the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). Stir in vanilla extract. Gently fold in the dry ingredients until combined.
Color & Swirl: Divide the batter into separate bowls and tint each with different food colors. Spoon dollops of each color onto the prepared pan and use a toothpick or skewer to swirl them together for a marbled effect.
Bake: Spread the batter evenly and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.
Roll & Cool: Immediately dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar. Flip the warm cake onto the towel, remove the parchment, and roll the cake (with the towel) from the short end. Let cool completely.
Fill & Decorate: Carefully unroll the cooled cake, spread with your favorite frosting or whipped cream, then roll it back up. Sprinkle with sprinkles for a festive touch.
Chill & Serve: Refrigerate for 30 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

Cherry Turnovers

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and halved (or 1 can of cherry pie filling)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

For the Pastry:

  • 1 package of puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

For the Glaze (optional):

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 teaspoons milk or heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cherry Filling:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract (and cinnamon if using).
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cherries release their juices and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly while you prepare the puff pastry.

2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Unroll the puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 squares (or more, depending on how big you want your turnovers).
  • Place a spoonful of the cherry filling in the center of each square (about 1-2 tablespoons). Be careful not to overfill.

3. Form the Turnovers:

  • Fold each square of puff pastry into a triangle by bringing one corner to the opposite corner.
  • Press the edges together to seal, using a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch and extra sealing.
  • If you like, you can make a small slit on top of each turnover to allow steam to escape while baking.

4. Egg Wash:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
  • Brush the egg wash over the tops of each turnover to give them a golden, shiny finish when baked.

5. Bake the Turnovers:

  • Place the turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.

6. Glaze the Turnovers (Optional):

  • While the turnovers are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk (or cream), and vanilla extract in a small bowl.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled turnovers for a sweet finishing touch.

7. Serve:

  • Let the cherry turnovers cool slightly before serving. They’re delicious warm but also taste great at room temperature.
