Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper lightly.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs on high speed with an electric mixer until they are light and foamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and continue to beat until the mixture is thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined. Be gentle to avoid deflating the batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to ensure it reaches all corners.
-
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
While the cake is baking, spread a clean kitchen towel on the counter and dust it generously with powdered sugar.
-
Once the cake is baked, immediately run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Invert the warm cake onto the prepared kitchen towel. Gently peel off the parchment paper.
-
Starting at one short end, carefully roll up the cake and towel together into a log. Let the cake cool completely while wrapped in the towel.
-
Carefully unroll the cake and spread the jelly or jam evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
-
Roll the cake back up, this time without the towel, starting at the same end as before. Place the seam side down on a serving platter.
-
Dust the Jelly Roll with a sprinkling of powdered sugar for a decorative finish. Your delicious Jelly Roll is now ready to be sliced and served. Enjoy this delightful dessert with a cup of tea or coffee, or serve it as a sweet ending to a special meal. The lightness of the sponge cake combined with the fruity sweetness of the jelly filling makes this treat a perfect choice for any occasion. Mastering this classic recipe will not only impress your friends and family but will also bring a touch of elegance to your homemade dessert repertoire.
