HOW TO MAKE THE JELLY ROLL CAKE
I remember making a Jelly Roll cake once before when I was single and don’t remember it coming out this well so I was thrilled. Don’t be intimated by the steps it is a super easy and really endless in terms of flavor variations.
Have fun with it and mix up the flavors of ice cream and fillings for a burst of flavor in your mouth. Best part this is a great make ahead Texas Sheet Cake
The Batter is super easy just be sure you have the correct Jelly Roll Pan. This will make or break your recipe.
I do believe we were off by 1/2 to 1 inch in each direction but it still worked. On the second attempt, I also used parchment paper on the bottom of the pan to help with the ease of getting it out.
Start off with Egglands Best Eggs.Eggland’s Best farm-fresh, nutritional eggs are produced by hens fed a wholesome,all-vegetarian dietof healthy grains, canola oil, and a premium supplement of rice bran, alfalfa, sea kelp and Vitamin E.
Our feed contains no added hormones, antibiotics or steroids, and no animal by-products, recycled, or processed foods. They are produced in the US and you can identify them by the EB stamped on each egg.
The egg yolks are perfectly yellow and when beaten will be even brighter.
The whites come to perfect peaks after sugar is added.
Mix the egg whites and egg yolks together carefully and mix well.
Then add the dry ingredients until just blended. To keep this cake spongy, you need to limit the amount of time you mix everything. Carefully spread the batter into your springform pan.
Hurdle 1: getting it out of the pan and onto the prepared dishtowel. Please have a clean dishtowel available before you start this recipe!! Carefully rolled out and sprinkled with powdered sugar.
While the cake is still warm you need to make the first roll in the towel. Allow it to cool completely before attempting to fill it with ice cream.
Ice Cream Ice Cream, oh how we love some ice cream all year long. We used close too 4 cups and were plenty satisfied. Allow the ice cream to sit out and soften but not too far before trying this step. It will truly be a time saver.
Make sure your ice cream is not melted just softened so you can spread it like so.
Reroll the cake with the ice cream and you are almost there. Simply wrap tightly with plastic wrap and place in the freezer overnight for the best ice cream roll cake ever.
For an added touch, serve with some hot fudge on the plate.
