Ingredients:
– 4 large eggs
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup cake flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
– For the filling:
– 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Your favorite fruit jam or jelly
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides. Grease the parchment paper and set the pan aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs on high speed for about 5 minutes until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, beating well after each addition.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until well combined, being careful not to deflate the eggs.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
5. While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel by spreading it on a flat surface and dusting it generously with confectioners’ sugar.
6. Once the cake is done, immediately invert it onto the prepared kitchen towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
7. Starting at one of the short ends, roll the cake and towel together into a tight spiral. Place the rolled cake on a wire rack to cool completely.
8. While the cake is cooling, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
9. Carefully unroll the cooled cake and remove the towel. Spread a layer of your favorite fruit jam or jelly evenly over the cake, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
10. Evenly spread the whipped cream filling over the jam-covered cake, being careful not to press too hard and deflate the cream.
11. Gently re-roll the cake from the short end, using the towel to help you create a tight spiral. Place the rolled cake on a serving platter, seam side down.
12. Refrigerate the cake for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set.
Enjoy this C Jellyroll sliced into beautiful spirals, revealing the delightful swirl of jam and cream inside. This versatile dessert is perfect for any occasion and is sure to become a favorite among your friends and family. Treat yourself to a slice of this indulgent treat and savor the flavors of homemade goodness.
