How to Make Children's Party Cake Phoney Fried Eggs

  1. **Prepare the Jelly Roll Cake:** Line a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan with waxed paper and lightly grease.
  2. **Make the Batter:** In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and thick (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. **Add Dry Ingredients:** Gently fold in 1 cup all-purpose flour until just combined.
  4. **Whip the Egg Whites:** In a separate bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with ½ teaspoon cream of tartar and a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
  5. **Gradually add Sugar:** Gradually add ¾ cup granulated sugar, continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  6. **Combine Wet and Dry:** Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk mixture until just combined.
  7. **Bake the Cake:** Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  8. **Cool the Cake:** Immediately loosen the edges with a sharp knife and carefully invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel. Peel off the waxed paper and let cool completely.
  9. **Prepare the Filling:** In a chilled bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream with 1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  10. **Cut and Assemble:** Once cooled, use a 3-inch round cookie cutter (or freehand cut) to create egg shapes. Arrange on a platter.
  11. **Add Apricot Preserve:** Spread a thin layer of apricot preserve onto each cake round.
  12. **Top with Whipped Cream:** Pipe or spread whipped cream over the apricot preserve.
  13. **Create the Yolk:** Top each with a halved apricot half to resemble a sunny-side-up egg.
  14. **Serve and Enjoy!:** Serve immediately and watch the kids gobble them up!
