Halina's Roll Up Cake Recipe

3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup flour (direcly into a sifter)
Jam or filling of your choice (you can also use chunky Applesauce)

preparation: grease a jelly roll pan or baking sheet, cover with parchment paper and grease the parchment paper as well. You will need 2 bowls and a hand mixer.

take the 3 eggs and the sugar and blend with a hand mixer until sugar is dissolved and mixture is velvety in texture. Continue to mix and add flour into mixture in small incriments (aprox. 1 Tbsp at a time) Continue to blend until all flour is added and mixture is very smoothe and light.

Bake at 200 C (400 F) for aprox. 15 min.

after the cake is baked you must work fast. remove the cake in paper from the pan and the paper from the cake. Lay on an additional clean sheet of parchment paper. Once paper has been removed spread your filling quickly over 3/4 of the cake and start to roll from the end that is covered towards the end without filling. As you roll the filling will move and cover everything. Once rolled cover with the parchment paper it is on and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

To serve. Cut off the ends, sprinkle with powdered sugar, slice and serve!
