Chocolate Jelly Roll
Hi and welcome to our website!
Our recipe is an homemade chocolate jelly roll, this is a old fashion recipe and a cake my mom would have for Sunday's years ago. Usually we would have a Traditional Newfoundland Cold Plates for supper and then dessert would be jelly roll or Traditional Newfoundland Orange Jelly Salad
Just mix the eggs with a high speed blender first and then add hot water, and gradually add sugar while continuing blending on a high speed. After fold the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder together with a spoon or whisk.
Line a cookies sheet with parchment paper and add all the cake batter and pre-heat your oven to 400ºF and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, then remove for oven.
When the cake comes out of the oven tip it out QUICKLY unto the confectionary sugar and towel, then slowly pull back the parchment paper to remove it.
I hope you are still interested in making one of these delicious jelly rolls, and if you like it to be a light jelly roll just leave out the cocoa powder.
If you like to have only a cream cheese icing for the inside or outside this is what it will look like. I love both of them. Our video only got the jelly roll with the jam but make two. 🙂

While HOT roll in towel starting at to narrow end, when jelly roll is at room temperature unroll and spread filling or jam of choice.
BONITA’S TIPS:
Sifting flour softens it like cake mix, folding the batter It means that you have to carefully combine two mixtures of different thickness and weight into one (relatively) smooth mixture.
If you wish to make a light jelly roll DON’T add the cocoa powder.

This is a easy to make cake and one the whole family will love, you can change up the filling with whatever your family enjoys to eat. Like chocolate icing, lemon, strawberry, blueberry or peach jelly or jam.
Just spread the jelly over the inside of the cake evenly and start to roll closes to you again. Only the cake this time you roll forward until all the cake is rolled.
Then cut off any rough edges or burnt cake from the sides to clean it up nice, then top with icing sugar or confectionary sugar. I have a lovely BOILED Icing recipe with our Rhubarb Muffins and Boiled Icing
