cake:
3/4 cup flour
2/3 cup sour cream
1 cup sugar
3 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
cream cheese filling:
8 oz cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
about 15 mini candy canes, crushed
To make design on roll if desired:
use a cookie cutter to trace shapes onto a piece of paper. Place paper on sheet pan and cover with wax paper.
Mix cake ingredients together and remove 1/4 cup of batter and add 3 tablespoons of flour. Divide in half and dye one half red and the other half green with food coloring. Place in a piping bag or ziplock bag and cut the tip. With the bag, pipe batter onto wax paper tracing the design from the paper. Move the paper around carefully to cover as much as you'd like. Be sure to remove paper when you're done piping. Place sheet pan in the freezer for 30 minutes to allow the designs to solidify.
Pour remaining batter evenly over wax paper and bake for 15 minutes at 350ยบ.
Remove from oven and roll tightly. Allow to cool to about room temp.
While it's cooling, prepare cream cheese filling. Beat cream cheese and sugar until soft and creamy - no lumps. Add in butter, extract and candy canes. Mix well.
Unroll cake and spread filling evenly over it. Roll it back up tightly, carefully removing the parchment paper as you roll. Wrap in Saran Wrap and allow to cool completely before serving.
Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
