Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line an 11″x17″ cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer, whisk egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until frothy. Gradually add sugar while mixing. Increase speed to high and whisk until stiff peaks form.
In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, milk, oil, and vanilla. Sift in flour and cornstarch, mixing until combined.
Fold a cup of the egg white mixture into the yolk mixture, then gently fold everything together.
Pour batter into the prepared pan, spread evenly, and tap to release air bubbles. Bake for 15 minutes until springy.
While warm, transfer the cake to a towel, remove parchment, and roll up with the towel. Let cool.
To make the buttercream, beat butter and powdered sugar until fluffy. Mix in marshmallow cream. Divide into three bowls and color with gel food coloring.
Unroll the cooled cake, trim edges, and spread buttercream in stripes. Roll back up tightly, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
Dust with powdered sugar, top with Peeps, and serve.

Notes

Sprinkle powdered sugar on the towel before rolling to prevent sticking.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
