No Coil Jelly Roll

Last year, I posted a recipe for an one-time fashioned jelly curl cake.  I heard from several people who said they had fond memories of their mom or grandma making jelly rolls, but they were afraid to make one themselves because they were nervous close rolling the cake.

Rolling the cake isn't hard, every bit long every bit you lot follow a few strict rules, but it IS messy alongside all of the "sprinkle towel alongside powdered sugar" stuff. That is why I came upward alongside this "NO ROLL JELLY ROLL".  I intend it is every fleck every bit pretty every bit the classic jelly roll Grandma used to make but it is MUCH EASIER !!

 

 

This is definitely going on my vacation tabular array this year

Basically, I baked the same 10 x fifteen sponge cake that I role inwards the jelly roll, but I cutting it into thirds together with stacked them alongside jam inwards betwixt each layer together with on the top, hence drizzled vanilla glaze over. I'm real happy alongside how it turned out. It is hence simple, I know I volition live making it a lot to a greater extent than often.

3 large eggs
1 loving cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon butter extract (see note)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 loving cup H2O (see note)
1 loving cup CAKE FLOUR
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 loving cup jelly or jam  (see note)

Preheat oven to 375 then business a 10" x 15" pan alongside parchment newspaper together with spray the newspaper alongside cooking spray, laid aside.

Beat the eggs, on high, until real thick together with lemon colored (takes close 5 minutes).  After 5 minutes, together with piece the mixer is nonetheless running on high, piece of cake add together the sugar.

Put the butter extract into a 1/3 measurement loving cup together with hence fill upward the loving cup alongside H2O (extract + H2O should = 1/3 cup). Add the extract-water together with vanilla extract to the egg mixture together with mix well.

Sift the cake flour, baking pulverization together with tabular array salt into the egg mixture together with shell merely until the batter is shine (I exercise this criterion alongside a whisk).

Pour batter into prepared pan together with bake in preheated 375 oven for 12-15 minutes (my electrical oven takes fifteen minutes) or until toothpick inwards centre comes out clean.

Remove from oven together with slide a sudden knife roughly the edges of the cake to loosen them.  Let the cake cool inwards the pan for 10 minutes earlier removing.

 

Place waxed newspaper or saran wind on a cookie sail (spray the paper/plastic wind alongside cooking spray) together with plow the cake out onto the cookie sheet.  This volition assist you transport the cake piece its nonetheless hot.  The cake is much easier to cutting and handle if its chilled, hence I lay the cake inwards the freezer for close one-half an sixty minutes earlier I tried to cutting it.

When you lot are ready to get together the cake, piece a VERY THIN border off of each side of the cake (not necessary, but looks prettier).  Cut the cake inwards thirds.

Place the bottom layer on a serving plate together with spread alongside jam (stir the jam to loosen it upward earlier spreading). Repeat alongside side past times side 2 layers.

Spread jam on the travel past times of the cake together with hence drizzle alongside vanilla glaze. 

 

VANILLA GLAZE

1/3 loving cup melted butter

2 cups powdered sugar

1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon almond extract

2 tablespoons milk

Mix all together alongside a whisk.

NOTE: This recipe industrial plant best alongside a jam that doesn't direct keep large pieces of fruit inwards it. Personally, I similar Smuckers Simply Fruit; it non solely tastes cracking but its PERFECT for this cake. Just brand certain you lot stir or whisk the jam earlier spreading it, it volition soften upward together with larn smooth.

NOTE: If you lot exercise non direct keep butter extract, merely double the vanilla extract.

NOTE: This cake gets to a greater extent than moist after it sits for a few hours because the jam sinks into the cake a little.
