No Curl Jelly Roll

Last year, I posted a recipe for an former fashioned jelly ringlet 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 nearly rolling the cake.

Rolling the cake isn't hard, equally long equally 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 equally pretty equally 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 xv sponge cake that I role inwards the jelly roll, but I cutting it into thirds in addition to stacked them alongside jam inwards betwixt each layer in addition to on the top, thus drizzled vanilla glaze over. I'm real happy alongside how it turned out. It is thus 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 describe of piece of employment a 10" x 15" pan alongside parchment newspaper in addition to spray the newspaper alongside cooking spray, laid aside.

Beat the eggs, on high, until real thick in addition to lemon colored (takes nearly 5 minutes). After v minutes, in addition to spell the mixer is yet running on high, slow add together the sugar.

Put the butter extract into a 1/3 measurement loving cup in addition to thus create amount the loving cup alongside H2O (extract + H2O should = 1/3 cup). Add the extract-water in addition to vanilla extract to the egg mixture in addition to mix well.

Sift the cake flour, baking pulverisation in addition to common salt into the egg mixture in addition to vanquish only until the batter is polish (I exercise this touchstone alongside a whisk).

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

Remove from oven in addition to slide a sudden knife unopen to 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 roll on a cookie sail (spray the paper/plastic roll alongside cooking spray) in addition to plough the cake out onto the cookie sheet. This volition aid you transport the cake spell its yet hot. The cake is much easier to cutting and handle if its chilled, thus I set the cake inwards the freezer for nearly one-half an sixty minutes earlier I tried to cutting it.

When you lot are ready to gather 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 in addition to spread alongside jam (stir the jam to loosen it upward earlier spreading). Repeat alongside side yesteryear side 2 layers.

Spread jam on the transcend of the cake in addition to thus 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 plant best alongside a jam that doesn't conduct maintain large pieces of fruit inwards it. Personally, I similar Smuckers Simply Fruit; it non exclusively tastes swell but its PERFECT for this cake. Just brand certain you lot stir or whisk the jam earlier spreading it, it volition soften upward in addition to instruct smooth.

NOTE: If you lot exercise non conduct maintain butter extract, only 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.
