Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups strawberry cake mix
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 Tablespoons confectioners sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon strawberry flavoring (optional)
  • Red or pink food coloring (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Chocolate egg candies
  • 2–3 cups coconut flakes
  • Green food coloring
  • Cool whip

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare your jelly roll pan by lining it with parchment paper and spraying it with cooking spray.
  2. Combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, water, vegetable oil, powdered sugar, strawberry flavoring, and food coloring in a large mixing bowl. Mix everything until well combined.
  3. Pour the cake batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread it evenly.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Remove the cake from the oven and immediately roll it up in the parchment paper. Allow it to cool completely while it is rolled up.
  6. Beat the heavy whipping cream in another mixing bowl, adding the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  7. Unroll the cooled cake carefully. Spread the whipped cream filling evenly over the top.
  8. Sprinkle chocolate egg candies over the filling and gently roll the cake back up without the parchment paper.
  9. Transfer the cake onto a serving tray. Mix the coconut flakes with green food coloring to create a grass-like effect.
  10. Decorate the top of the cake with green coconut shreds, additional cool whip, and more chocolate egg candies.
  11. Slice into pieces and serve.

Notes

For a healthier version, substitute heavy whipping cream with low-fat options. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
