Ingredients

  • 4 eggs at room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 cups strawberry or raspberry jelly or jam
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar divided

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 11 x 16-inch jelly roll pan with wax paper lightly greased with non-stick baking spray.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat eggs for about 1 minute. Gradually add in granulated sugar, beating for another 4 minutes, until fluffy and pale yellow in color. Add salt and beat for 15 to 30 seconds.
  • Fold in flour and baking powder gently but thoroughly, being careful not to deflate the eggs. Fold in vanilla extract.
  • Spread batter in prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees for about 14 minutes until the center springs back when lightly touched (check after 12 minutes).
  • Immediately turn out onto a clean, damp dish towel sprinkled with 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar. Peel paper from bottom of cake and roll in the towel. Unroll and spread with jelly or jam and roll again inside the towel.
  • Remove towel, put cake on a plate, seam side down, and sprinkle with remaining confectioners' sugar. Slice and serve.

Tips

  • If you forget to take the eggs out ahead of time, just place them in a bowl of warm water for 3 to 5 minutes.
