Modern Jelly Roll
A classic jelly roll cake, updated for modern kitchens with clear instructions and timings.
Ingredients
- 3 Eggs
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 tablespoon Milk
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Melted butter
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (For dusting)
- 0.5 cup Jelly or jam (Your favorite flavor)
Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and line a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. Grease the parchment paper and sides of the pan.
- 2In a large bowl, beat the eggs until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Gradually add the sugar, beating until the mixture is pale and thick, about 2-3 minutes.
- 3In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in the melted butter.
- 4Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake is lightly golden and springs back when lightly touched.
- 5While the cake is baking, dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar. Once the cake is out of the oven, immediately invert it onto the prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper. Trim off the edges of the cake with a sharp knife. Spread the jelly or jam evenly over the cake. Starting from one end, tightly roll the cake up using the towel to help guide it. Wrap the rolled cake in the towel and let it cool completely.
- 6Once the cake is cooled, unwrap it and dust with additional powdered sugar, if desired. Slice and serve.
