Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- Blue food coloring
- 1 cup whipped cream
- ½ cup crushed pineapple

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Beat the eggs and granulated sugar together on high speed for about 5 minutes until thick and pale.
- Add the vanilla extract, milk, and vegetable oil into the egg mixture and mix until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding in gently with a spatula.
- Stir in a few drops of blue food coloring until the desired shade is achieved.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 5 minutes, then flip onto a powdered sugar-dusted towel, peel off the paper, and roll up to cool completely.
- Mix the whipped cream, crushed pineapple, and coconut flakes for the filling.
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread the tropical filling evenly, then roll it back up tightly without the towel.
- Wrap the cake roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Decorate the cake with extra whipped cream, coconut flakes, or edible decorations.
