Ingredients

  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 3/4 cup cake flour, sifted
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Garnish:

  • Confectioners' sugar, for dusting, sifted
  • 1 cup jam or jelly, stirred well
  • Whipped cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a small bowl beat egg whites until stiff but not dry and set aside. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks until light. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla, and mix well. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the sifted flour mixture to the egg yolk mixture. Fold in the egg whites into the egg mixture and pour the batter into a 15 by 10 by 1-inch jelly roll pan lined with waxed paper. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cake is golden.

Loosen edges of cake, invert cake onto a towel dusted with confectioners' sugar. Gently peel wax paper off cake. Trim 1/4-inch of hard crust off each long side of the jelly roll cake. Begin with the narrow side and roll the cake and towel up together. Cool cake on rack, seam side down, for 10 to 15 minutes.

Once cake has cooled, gently unroll and spread cake with jam or jelly and re-roll. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar or cover with whipped cream.

    My cake did not turn out very fluffy... I probably did not fold the eggs in very gently, but overall it turned out great!

    I tried one other recipe and had to throw away! Then, I tried Paula's and it came out great! Another winner! Thanks, Paula

    It was VERY good! Definitely my favorite jelly roll recipe. But I did substitute Strawberry glaze and whipped up nutriwhip for the filling instead of the jam or jelly!
