  • Repeat procedure with remaining flour mixture.
  • Spread batter evenly into prepared jelly roll pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes and the cake springs back lightly in the center.
  • Loosen cakes from sides of pan and turn it over onto a dishtowel GENEROUSLY sprinkled with powdered sugar.
  • Carefully peel off the wax paper.
  • Sprinkle cake with 2 Tbsp. powdered sugar, cool for one minute.
  • Starting at one end, roll up the cake and towel TOGETHER.
  • Place seam side down on a wire rack and cool completely for about 30 minutes.
  • Carefully unroll the cooled cake and remove the towel.
  • Spread the jam/preserves over the cake.
  • Re-roll the cake back up, placing seam-side down on a platter.
