Categories     Cakes

Time 38m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
1/2 cup (60g) icing/powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 large eggs, separated, room temperature
3/4 cup (150g) caster/granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup (60g) Greek-style yogurt
1/4 cup (80g) molasses/black treacle (not blackstrap)*
1 and 1/4 cups (156g) cake flour**
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease a 10x15-inch cake roll pan, and line the base with parchment paper.
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until light and thick. Beat in the vanilla, yogurt and molasses. Add the flour, baking powder, spices, and salt, and mix until combined. Gently fold in the whipped egg whites.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and spread out evenly. Tap the pan lightly on the surface a few times to level out the batter. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  • Immediately invert the cake onto a tea towel dusted generously with icing/powdered sugar. Leaving the parchment paper on, roll the cake up with the tea towel, starting at a short end. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream until it starts to thicken. Add the icing sugar, vanilla, and spices, and whip to stiff peaks.
  • Unroll the cake, peel off the paper, and spread the whipped cream evenly over the cake. Re-roll without the tea towel. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Dust with icing sugar and serve.

Even though gingerbread usually makes us think of winter, we think this cake roll makes a perfect fall dessert, too. Your cake is ready to roll once it springs back when lightly touched.

Provided by BHG Test Kitchen

Time 5h42m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 recipe Almond Pastry Cream
4 eggs
0.5 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

0.75 teaspoon ground cinnamon
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
0.333 cup molasses
0.5 cup granulated sugar
Powdered sugar
1 recipe Maple Glaze
0.25 cup chopped almonds, toasted

Line bottom of pan with waxed paper or parchment paper; grease paper. Set pan aside. In a medium bowl stir together flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, salt, and cloves; set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. In a medium mixing bowl beat egg yolks with an electric mixer on high speed about 5 minutes or until thick and lemon color. Beat in molasses just until combined.
  • Thoroughly wash beaters. In a large mixing bowl beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form (tips curl). Gradually add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight). Fold egg yolk mixture into beaten egg whites.

Remove waxed paper. Roll towel and cake into a spiral, starting from a short side of the cake. Cool on a wire rack. Meanwhile, prepare Maple Glaze.
  • Unroll cake; remove towel. Spread cake with Almond Pastry Cream to within 1 inch of the edges. Roll up cake; trim ends. Drizzle with Maple Glaze and sprinkle with almonds. Cover and chill for up to 6 hours.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

Cooking spray
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
1 cup cold heavy cream
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
8 ounces mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
1/3 cup finely chopped candied citrus peel (lemon and/or orange)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat an 11-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet or jelly roll pan with cooking spray; line the bottom with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cloves and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Whisk the egg yolks, melted butter and molasses in a large bowl. Beat the egg whites and granulated sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 5 minutes. Stir the
  • flour mixture into the yolk mixture until smooth. Stir one-third of the whites into the batter with a rubber spatula, then fold in the remaining whites in two batches. Spread the batter in the prepared pan; bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Immediately sift confectioners' sugar generously over the top of the warm cake and loosen the edges with a knife; lay a clean kitchen towel (not terry cloth) over the cake. Place another baking sheet over the towel and flip the cake with the baking sheets to invert it onto the towel. Remove the top baking sheet and parchment. Starting at a short end, roll up the cake and the towel together into a spiral. Transfer seam-side down to a rack and let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: Beat the heavy cream and 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar with a mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Beat in the mascarpone and vanilla. (Do not overbeat.) Fold in the chocolate chips and candied citrus with a rubber spatula.
  • Make the topping: Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, the cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg and cloves in a bowl. Gently unroll the cake. Spread the filling over the cake about 1/4 inch from the edges; reroll (without the towel). Trim the ends with a serrated knife. Transfer to a platter; dust with the spice mixture.

GINGERBREAD CAKE ROLL WITH EGGNOG WHIPPED CREAM



Gingerbread Cake Roll with Eggnog Whipped Cream image

This cake roll is a delicious combo of holiday flavors that everyone will love!

Provided by LBurns

Time 2h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

nonstick cooking spray with flour
3 large eggs
½ cup white sugar
½ cup molasses
¼ cup natural unsweetened applesauce
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup powdered sugar, or as needed
1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or to taste
1 cup powdered sugar, or more to taste
1 cup whipping cream
½ cup eggnog
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with foil. Spray the foil and the sides of the pan with nonstick spray.
  • Place eggs in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on high speed for 5 minutes. Gradually beat in sugar, molasses, and applesauce.
  • Stir flour, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, allspice, and salt together in a separate bowl. Add to the wet ingredients and mix to combine. Spread into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Lay a kitchen towel on a work surface and sprinkle liberally with 1/4 cup powdered sugar, or as needed. Remove cake from the oven and immediately turn out onto the towel.
  • Start at the narrow end and roll the towel and cake together. Let sit until completely cool, about 2 hours. The cake will be sticky, soft, and spongy; it might come off a little on your fingers, but that's okay.
  • Place mascarpone cheese in a medium mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer or an electric wire whisk and gradually add vanilla, followed by 1 cup powdered sugar. Slowly add whipping cream and continue to beat until icing becomes light and fluffy. Mix in eggnog.
  • Unroll the cooled cake and gently remove the towel. Spread about 1/2 of the filling over the cake, leaving about 1/2 inch uncovered at the edges. Start at the narrow end and re-roll the cake. As you roll, the filling will shift a little and you may need to remove some if you've put too much on; that's okay, just have a knife handy to scrape off any excess as you roll.
  • Cut into slices. Top with remaining filling and dust with cinnamon and powdered sugar. Or, wrap cake in plastic wrap before slicing, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the eggs and butter are at room temperature before starting.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake roll immediately after assembling, as the batter can become too thick if it sits for too long.
  • If the cake roll cracks when you roll it, don't worry - it will still taste delicious.
  • Let the cake roll cool completely before frosting it, as this will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Store the cake roll in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
