Roulade Cake (good for Yule Log)

Ingredients

• ¾ cup cake flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 5 eggs, separated
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375˚. Grease a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan, and line with parchment paper. Grease parchment, and set pan aside.

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.

Beat egg yolks and 2/3 cup of the granulated sugar in a small bowl with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes, or until thick, yellow, and opaque. Beat in vanilla, and set aside.

Beat egg whites in a large, clean bowl until foamy. Gradually beat in remaining 1/3 cup sugar until stiff peaks form.

Fold flour mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Then, fold flour-yolk mixture into the egg white mixture until evenly incorporated.

Spread mixture into prepared pan, and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cake springs back when lightly touched in the centre.

Lightly sift powdered sugar over a clean dish towel. Loosen warm cake from edges of pan, then invert onto the prepared towel. Remove pan, and carefully peel off parchment paper. Gently roll up cake in towel from the short end. Let rolled cake cool completely on a wire rack.

When cool, remove towel and fill with desired filling, then re-roll cake.
