1/2 cup canned jellied cranberry
sauce (you may need to warm this to thin it out a bit for spreading. Just
warm it in the microwave for 20 -30 seconds)
finely diced fruit, such as apples
confectioners sugar; optional
whipped cream; optional
Method
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Grease a 15 by 10 by 1 inch jelly roll pan with butter or spray with cooking
spray. Line pan with parchment paper and lightly spray paper also.
Beat egg yolks
until light colored and then beat in sugar gradually. Add vanilla. Whisk
together flour and baking powder and beat into the egg yolks until smooth.
Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry and gently fold them into the
cake batter along with the chopped nuts. Spread into baking pan and bake 12
-13 minutes. Loosen edges from the pan and invert the pan onto a clean
kitchen towel that has been dusted with confectioners sugar. Trim off any
crusty edges. Roll up the cake while it is still hot with the towel and
place on a rack to cool. When cool, gently unroll it and spread with the
jellied cranberry sauce and sprinkle with diced fruit. Reroll the jelly roll
and place on a platter seam down. If desired, sprinkle with confectioners
sugar, or pipe whipped cream rosettes down the middle of the jelly roll top.
