Time

  • Preparation and mixing of batter: 10-15 minutes
  • Baking the cake: 10-12 minutes
  • Cooling the cake: 10-15 minutes
  • Assembling and rolling the jelly roll: 5-10 minutes
  • Keep in mind that these times can vary depending on factors such as oven temperature accuracy and individual cooking speed. It's important to also allow extra time for the jelly roll to cool completely before slicing and serving, which can take about 30 minutes to an hour. Overall, from start to finish, you're looking at approximately 40 to 60 minutes.

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 15x10x1-inch baking pan, then line it with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper as well. This will prevent the cake from sticking.


  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs on high speed for about 5 minutes, until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, beating well after each addition.













  • Gradually fold in the flour mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, until well combined. Be gentle to avoid deflating the eggs.

  • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to smooth it out.


  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.


  • While the cake is still hot, invert it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with confectioners' sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.

  • Starting with a short side, roll up the cake and towel together into a tight spiral. Place the rolled cake seam side down on a wire rack to cool completely.


  • Once the cake has cooled, carefully unroll it. Spread the jam or jelly evenly over the cake, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.


  • Roll up the cake again, this time without the towel. Place it seam side down on a serving platter.

  • Dust the top of the jelly roll with confectioners' sugar for a decorative finish.


Slice and serve your jelly roll immediately, or refrigerate it until ready to serve.
