Miniature swiss jelly rolls

16 slices

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
½ teaspoon Baking Powder
4 Eggs
½ cup Superfine Sugar
1 tablespoon Water
Confectioners' Sugar
⅔ cup Blackberry Jam
Fresh Blackberries
Pesticide-Free Rose Petals

Directions

Preheat oven to 425øF. Line bottom of a 15x10x1" jelly-roll pan with parchment paper. Butter parchment. Sift flour and baking powder into a small bowl. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar at high speed until thick and creamy, about 5 minutes. Gradually sprinkle flour mixture over egg mixture, then fold in gently. Be sure there are no dry pockets of flour. Fold in water.

Pour batter into pan. Spread evenly, smoothing top. Bake at 425øF for 10 minutes until center springs back when lightly touched. While cake is baking, sprinkle a 20" long sheet of parchment paper with sifted confectioners' sugar.

Remove cake from oven and immediately run knife around edge of cake to loosen, then invert hot cake on sugared paper. Peel off baking parchment from bottom of cake. Trim off crusty edges with a sharp knife. Cut both cake and parchment in half crosswise. Gently roll up each hot cake in parchment starting from narrow end. Wrap in clean, warm, damp cloth. Cool on rack. Before serving, gently unroll cakes. Spread each cake with half the jam, leaving a 1" border on all sides. Roll up starting at narrow end. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Cut each cake in 8-10 slices. Garnish with berries and rose petals.
