Ingredients
• 6 large eggs, separated
• 6 tbsp milk, room temperature
• 4 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Red and green food coloring
• 4–5 cups cream cheese frosting
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, beat egg yolks with milk, oil, vanilla, and half the sugar until smooth.
In another bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add remaining sugar and beat to stiff peaks.
Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture.
Sift in flour and baking powder, folding just until combined.
Divide batter into three bowls. Tint one red, one green, and leave one plain.
Spoon the batters in rows into the pan. Lightly swirl with a toothpick for a marbled effect.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cake springs back to the touch.
While warm, roll the cake in parchment paper and let cool completely.
Unroll, spread frosting evenly, re-roll, and chill before serving.
