5 large Egg yolks
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
¼ cup Sifted flour
½ teaspoon Salt
3 tablespoons Cocoa
1 teaspoon Vanilla
5 large Egg Whites stiffly beaten

Peppermint Cream Cheese Frosting

½ cup butter unsalted, softened
8 ounces Cream cheese block softened
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon Salt
4 cups Powdered sugar
½ cup Red peppermint candies crushed in a food processor

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375° In a stand mixer beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored.
Sift powdered sugar, flour, salt, and cocoa together in a bowl.
Beat the dry ingredients into the egg yolks until well blended. Then add vanilla
In a stand mixer, you will beat your egg whites until stiffly beaten. Fold in the egg whites into the cake batter.
Spray a 10x15 cookie sheet (with an edge) with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper.
Pour cake mixture in the baking pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the center springs back when pushed with a finger.
Lightly dust a clean dish towel with powdered sugar. Loosen cake around edges with a knife and invert onto towel while still warm. Peel off parchment paper.
Roll up the cake gently, rolling the towel in the cake.

When the cake is fully cooled, you will blend up your peppermint cream cheese frosting ingredients. Whip until creamy.
Spread cream cheese frosting on the cake, sprinkle with the crushed candy, and roll like a jelly roll.

You can freeze the cake if you don't plan to eat it all right away.

If you want a classic Swiss roll cake you can do a whipped cream filling or leave out the peppermint for a classic chocolate roll cake.
