JELLY ROLL

A 1944 vegetable shortening advertisement claimed that their product produced lighter cakes without even creaming the shortening to soften it. To prove it, they offered this Jelly Roll recipe that beats the shortening with the dry ingredients and half of the eggs using an electric mixer.

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup sifted cake flour (sift before measuring)
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup softened butter or vegetable shortening (or a mixture)
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup seedless red raspberry or apricot jam

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a jelly roll pan; line with parchment or waxed paper and grease paper.
  • Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter, 2 eggs, and the vanilla to the dry ingredients and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy. Separate the remaining 2 eggs. Place the whites in a small bowl and beat the yolks into the batter.
  • With clean beaters, beat the egg whites at high speed until they are stiff; fold beaten whites into the batter just until no white streaks remain.
  • Spread batter into the prepared pan and bake until the center springs back when lightly pressed, about 15 minutes.
  • Sift confectioners' sugar over a linen towel that has been spread out on a work surface; invert cake onto towel. Quickly, remove parchment, trim off crisp cake edges, spread cake with jam, and roll up using towel as an aid. Tightly roll cake in towel and set aside, open side down, until completely cool, about 30 minutes. Transfer to serving plate and slice crosswise.

Tips:

  • Chill the jelly roll before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the jelly roll. This will help prevent it from tearing.
  • Serve the jelly roll with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include whipped cream, ice cream, and fresh fruit.
  • Store the jelly roll in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

The prize-winning jelly roll is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its light and fluffy sponge cake, creamy filling, and colorful jelly topping, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
