Jelly Roll

Oven, in the book's wordsA hot oven

Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a hot oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Prepare a jelly sponge cake mixture.

  2. Spread the mixture on a paper-lined baking sheet to about ¼ inch thick.

  3. Bake in a hot oven at 400°F (200°C).

  4. Once done, immediately turn the cake bottom side up on a sugar-dusted paper-covered slab or table.

  5. Remove the paper lining from the cake.

  6. Spread jelly over the cake and roll it up to form a long roll.

  7. Dust the roll with powdered sugar and cut it into desired lengths.

Recipe from a historical cookbook (Internet Archive).

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
