A delicious and sticky caramel pecan roll cake that combines a light sponge cake with a rich caramel pecan filling, perfect for dessert lovers.
Ingredients
- 120 g all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon (5 mL) baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon (1.25 mL) salt
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 mL) vanilla extract
- 30 mL whole milk
- 30 g unsalted butter, melted
- 225 g cream cheese, softened
- 60 g unsalted butter, softened
- 120 g caramel sauce
- 60 g powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 mL) vanilla extract
- 100 g finely chopped toasted pecans
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 mL) ground cinnamon, optional
- Pinch of salt
- 100 g caramel sauce (for topping)
- 60 g toasted pecans, roughly chopped (for topping)
- Powdered sugar, optional (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 25 × 38 cm (10 × 15-inch) jelly-roll pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar on high speed for 4–5 minutes, until very pale, thick, and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla.
- Gently fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture in two or three additions.
- Mix the melted butter with the milk. Gently fold into the batter just until incorporated. Don’t overmix.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 10–13 minutes, or until the cake springs back lightly when touched.
- Immediately dust a clean kitchen towel generously with powdered sugar. Carefully turn the hot cake onto the towel and peel away the parchment.
- Starting at one short end, gently roll the cake with the towel inside. Let it cool completely while rolled. This helps prevent cracking.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
- Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor.
- Optional: Add more caramel sauce on top before serving for extra sweetness.
