Cooking Time:
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Total: 35 minutes
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F.
-
Prepare pan: Spray an 11 x 15-inch baking or jellyroll pan with a light coating of non-stick spray, such as Pam.
-
Line with waxed paper: Line the prepared pan with waxed paper, then spray the paper with cooking spray once again.
-
Whip egg mixture: In a mixing bowl, whip together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes light and airy. This will take a few minutes of beating.
-
Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually mix in the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and cold water until well combined. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.
-
Spread batter: Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. The layer should be thin and cover the entire pan.
-
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake until the sponge is golden brown and springs back to the touch. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
-
Prepare cloth: While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen cloth by wetting it with cold water and wringing out any excess moisture.
-
Roll the cake: Once the cake is baked, carefully turn it out onto the damp cloth. Gently peel off the waxed paper.
-
Spread jelly: Spread your favorite jam or jelly evenly over the surface of the cake.
-
Roll it up: Using the cloth as an aid, carefully roll up the cake from one of the long sides. Roll it tightly to ensure a neat spiral. Trim off any ragged edges if necessary.
-
Serve: Carefully transfer the rolled cake onto a serving platter. Sprinkle the top with confectioners’ sugar for a sweet finish.
-
Enjoy: Serve your Jelly Roll warm or chilled, as desired. Each slice is a perfect combination of fluffy cake and fruity jelly – simply delicious!
Tips: For best results, sift confectioners’ sugar onto a dry tea towel before turning the cake out onto it. This helps prevent the cake from sticking and tearing as you roll it.
