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.

It was amazing :)
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I really enjoyed making this cake it was easy to make. I did add a little bit of water. It made it better. I also recommend... not to over bake it. As soon as it is golden on the edges take it out o it will get stuck with the pan.Read more

This cake is exactly the kind of cake I'm looking for, great with a cup of tea. It can be used as a diet recipe if you... excluded the cream filling, further more you can reduce calories by using fructose instead of sugar and a dietetic jam instead of regular jam.Read more

Make it Strawberry & Cream!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a great recipe and easy. Here's my twist: Add the zest of 1 lemon to the egg yolk mixture; then using the juice of... the lemon & 2 TBS sugar boil till thick then brush on the warm cake before rolling; for the filling use homemade whipped cream and cut-up strawberries! It is great tasting & fancy enough for the pickiest guests!Read more
