Raspberry Coconut Jelly Roll Recipes

RASPBERRY COCONUT JELLY ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 10 1/2" by 15 1/2" jelly roll pan with baking parchment and lightly coat with nonstick vegetable spray.
• Into a large bowl, sift the flour and baking powder together three times.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks, vanilla, and 1/4 cup of the sugar together until thick, pale yellow and when drizzled, will hold a ribbon shape for 2 seconds on the surface. This should take about 5 minutes.
• Fold in the flour mixture.
• In another clean, dry mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with the pinches of salt and cream of tartar until creamy and foamy. With the mixer still running, sprinkle in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and whisk until the egg whites hold very soft peaks (the consistency of shaving cream).
• In thirds, fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake for 8 minutes, until barely golden. Set the pan on a rack to cool.
• Make the vanilla cream filling: With an electric mixer, beat together the vegetable shortening and butter until blended. Turn the mixer down to its lowest setting and gradually add the confectioners' sugar. Turn the mixer back up and beat at high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. At a drizzle, gradually beat in the vanilla and corn syrup until the filling is the consistency of mayonnaise, about 2 minute more.
• Run the tip of a knife around the edge of the cake to loosen it from the sides. Dust the surface with confectioners' sugar. Flip the cake onto a dry work surface. With a spatula, spread a 1/8" thick layer of vanilla cream over the cake. Mix the preserves and water until smooth, then carefully spread 1/3 of it in a very thin layer over the vanilla cream. Roll up tightly. Spread the rest of the preserves around the outside of the roll. Sprinkle the coconut on a cookie sheet. Roll the cake through the coconut to coat completely. Refrigerate for 1 hour to set, then trim the ends even.

RASPBERRY JELLY ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F Line an 18" x 13" half-sheet pan with parchment or aluminum foil, and grease the parchment or foil.
• Beat the eggs and salt at high speed until they're foamy.
• Gradually add the sugar, beating till thick and light-colored, about 3 minutes at high speed of an electric or stand mixer.
• Gently mix in the water and vanilla.
• Stir in the flour, scraping the bowl to make sure the mixture is thoroughly combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, making sure it spreads into the corners.
• Bake the cake till it's a light golden brown, and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 16 minutes.
• While the cake is baking, generously sprinkle confectioners' sugar on a smooth dish towel (not terry cloth) larger than 18" x 13". Gently rub/spread the sugar to cover the surface of the towel.
• Remove the cake from the oven, and turn the pan over onto the towel. Lift off the pan.
• Peel off the parchment or foil. Starting with a short end, gently roll the warm cake and towel into a log.
• Let the wrapped cake cool for 30 minutes, or until it's completely cool.
• Unroll the cooled cake, and lift it off the towel onto a clean work surface.
• Stir the jam till any lumps have smoothed out, and it's soft enough to spread easily. Spread it over the cake.
• Roll the cake up, again starting with a short end. Roll fairly tight without squashing; you may see excess jam oozing off the edge when you get to the end. That's OK; just scrape it off and use it on your toast.
• Sprinkle the cake heavily with confectioners' sugar.
• Let the cake set for an hour or so before serving. For prettiest slices, cut off each ragged end, and serve in 1" slices. A garnish of fruit, sauce, or whipped cream is always welcome.
