Mike's Favorite Lemon Jellyroll

Wet
4 eggs separated
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Dry
1 Cup cake flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 jar of lemon curd (or your favorite jam)

Garnish
a couple sprinkles of Powdered sugar
and fresh fruit
(I like to use Strawberries and Kiwis sliced up)


Heat oven to 400F
With a mixer, in a large bowl, beat the four egg whites and add
1/4 cup sugar (a TBLS at a time) until foamy
and stiff peaks form

In a separate bowl beat the 4 egg yolks until thick
then stir in 1 tsp vanilla.

Fold yolks into the whites in the large bowl until blended.

Sift together
Cake flour, salt, 1/2 cup sugar, and baking powder

Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the eggs
Sprinkling about half of the dry mix and folding until
saturated then add the second half of the dry ingredients.
Just mix until blended you want to keep some fluffiness!

Grease a 10x15 jelly roll pan (A cookie sheet with sides)
or line with parchment paper or a baking mat)

pour batter into pan and bake for approx. 13 min

Do a toothpick test in the middle. if it comes out clean
or with a couple crumbs it's done.

Allow to cool for a couple minutes
then invert the cake onto a dishtowel sprinkled with
powdered sugar.

If the cake doesn't come out right away let it cool
a couple more minutes and tap the bottom of the pan.
Not too long though.. you still want the cake a little warm to roll.

Remove parchment paper if you used it.

Spread lemon curd (Or your favorite jam)
Leave about 2 inches of one end without jam..
Then gently roll the cake up towards the
naked end.

Cover with the towel to cool.

Decorate by dusting with powdered sugar.
I also cut up strawberries and Kiwis
just to make it look pretty!
