    How to make this Easy Valentine's Day Dessert Recipe

    Preheat oven to 350 and line a 10x15x1 baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. 

    Line 1 muffin tin with 5 paper liners and set aside. 

    Add eggs to a mixer and beat on high for 5-6 minutes until bubbly and frothy.

    Add eggs to a mixer and beat on high for 5-6 minutes until bubbly and frothy. Add cake, water and oil. Beat for 30 seconds on low and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat on medium for 1 minute until combined well. 

    Pour 3-½ cups of batter into prepared baking sheet. Spread batter evenly. Use a 3 tablespoon portion scoop to scoop remaining batter into 5 cupcake liners. 

    Bake for 14-16 minutes or until cake is done in the center when a toothpick is inserted in it. Remove from oven. Cool cupcakes completely before frosting and enjoying. 

    For the cake roll, generously sprinkle powdered sugar onto a thin, clean towel. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan and placing it onto the powder sugar covered towel. Discard the parchment paper. Starting on a short end, roll the towel and cake into log shape. Set aside to cool completely.
