Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient

⅛ teaspoon Salt
Unsweetened cocoa
2 pints Raspberry sorbet
1 (8-oz) container chocolate flavor frozen whipped topping, thawed
½ pint Raspberries for garnish
Mint leaves for garnish

Directions

ABOUT 5 HOURS BEFORE SERVING OR DAY AHEAD: 1. Preheat oven to 400'F. Spray 15½" by 1O ½" jelly-roll pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line pan with waxed paper; spray paper.

2. In small bowl, with mixer at high speed, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Beating at high speed, gradually sprinkle in ½ cup confec- tioners' sugar, 2 T at a time, beating well after each addition until sugar dissolves and whites stand in stiff peaks.

3. In large bowl, with same beaters and with mixer at high speed, beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored. Reduce speed to low; beat in salt, ½ cup confectioners' sugar, and ¼ cup cocoa, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber spatula. With rubber spatula or wire whisk, gently fold beaten egg whites into egg-yolk mixture.

Spread batter evenly in jelly-roll pan and bake 15 minutes or until top of cake springs back when lightly touched with finger.

4. Sprinkle clean cloth towel with some cocoa. When cake is done, with small spatula, immediately loosen edges from sides of pan; invert cake onto prepared towel. Carefully peel and discard waxed paper from cake. If you like, with knife, cut off crisp edges. Starting from a narrow end, roll cake with towel, jelly-roll fashion. Cool rolled cake completely, seamside down, on wire rack.

5. Remove sorbet from freezer to countertop to soften slightly. Unroll cooled cake; evenly spread sorbet over cake. Starting from same narrow end, roll cake without towel. Wrap roll tightly with foil; freeze un- til firm, at least 3 hours.

6. To serve, place roll, seam-side down, on chilled platter. Spoon whipped topping into decorating bag with large star tube. Pipe topping over cake roll; sprinkle some raspberries on top. Garnish with mint leaves and remaining raspberries.
