- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the coconut filling:

- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the snowflake design:

- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp water

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, mixing until just combined.
4. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake is lightly golden and springs back when touched.
7. While the cake is baking, prepare the coconut filling. In a medium bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
8. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
9. Lay a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and dust it with powdered sugar.
10. Carefully flip the cake onto the towel and remove the parchment paper.
11. Spread the coconut filling evenly over the cake, leaving a small border around the edges.
12. Starting at one end, roll the cake up tightly with the towel. Place the rolled cake seam-side down on a serving platter.
13. To make the snowflake design, mix together the shredded coconut, powdered sugar, and water in a small bowl.
14. Using a small cookie cutter or stencil, sprinkle the coconut mixture over the top of the cake to create a snowflake design.
