Instructions On how to make Jam Roll Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
  • Line the bottom of a 10″x 15″ jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  • Use an electric mixer, whip together the egg yolks and confectioners’ sugar until pale yellow, and nearly double in volume.
  • Beat in the vanilla and lemon zest.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites with the salt, until foamy.
  • Increase the speed, and gradually add 2 tablespoons sugar.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the rice flour, sweet rice flour, cornstarch, and Xanthan gum.
  • Fold half of the flour mixture into the egg yolks, followed by half of the whipped egg whites.
  • Follow up by folding in the remaining flour, and then the remaining egg whites.
  • Do not over mix, just gently fold until fully incorporated.
  • Spread the batter in an even layer in the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when gently pressed.
  • Let cake cool for 2-3 minutes before using a spatula to loosen the sides.
  • Lay a clean tea towel over the cake, and place a larger baking sheet over top.
  • Carefully flip the pans, remove the pan you baked the cake in, and peel the parchment paper off the bottom of your sponge cake.
  • While the cake is still warm, using the towel and starting at the short end, carefully roll the cake up into a roll.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely.
  • Rolling the cake into a roll while it is still warm will help prevent it from cracking when you roll it up with the filling.
  • Unroll the cake, spread the jam filling evenly over the cake, leaving 1 1/2-inches on the 10″ side clear.
  • Re-roll the cake, without the towel.
  • Cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
  • Serve and enjoy
