Spiced Honey Cake Roll

Ill be honest here…

Not a huge fan of dense honey cakes. They are just way too sweet and heavy to my liking.

That’s when I thought about making a honey cake… but better... Not dense, not too sweet. Spiced with all the fall flavors, and rolled up in a yummy cream.

Introducing your honey cake… just better 😉

Cake:

• 5 eggs, separated, room temperature 

• 3/4 cup sugar, divided 

• 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp honey

• 1/3 cup oil

• 1/4 cup non dairy milk

• 1 tsp vanilla

• 1 cup cake flour

• 1 tbsp baking powder

• pinch of salt

• 1 honey graham cracker, for topping

Cream:

• 1 carton non dairy whip topping, cold 

• 1/4 cup honey

• 1/4 cup sugar

• 1/4 tsp nutmeg, optional

• 1/4 tsp cinnamon, optional

• 2.8 oz vanilla pudding powder

• 1 vanilla bean, optional

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a half size baking sheet with oil spray then parchment paper. The parchment paper should stick on the baking sheet completely and come up on the sides. 

2. In a stand mixer, combine egg whites with 1/2 cup of sugar. Whip at high speed until stiff peaks form. Transfer to another bowl and set aside. 

3. Add egg yolks to stand mixer. Combine honey and 1/4 cup of sugar to the yolks. Whip at high speed until pale yellow. Add oil, non-dairy milk and vanilla. Whisk until combined. 

4. Add cake flour, baking powder and salt to your stand mixer. Whisk ingredients together until no lumps remain. 

5. Fold in whites into yolks very carefully and gradually. You can use a whisk or spatula. Once folded, transfer to prepared baking sheet, pat down baking sheet a few times to get rid of air bubbles, and bake for 20-23 minutes. 

6. Remove from oven, let cool for 5 minutes. Place a clean kitchen towel on the entire surface of the sheet pan cake. Using kitchen gloves, carefully flip cake onto the towel. Gently pull the parchment paper away from the cake and discard. Flip the edge of your kitchen towel on one of the smaller side of the cake and roll the cake. A layer of towel should be in between every layer of the cake so it doesn’t touch itself. Set it aside to cool completely.
