Ingredients
Cake Roll
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Filling
- 1 pint heavy cream
- 2 Tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries thawed
Frosting
- 1 pint heavy cream
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese room temperature
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries thawed
Instructions
Cake Roll
- Prepare jelly roll pan by lining it with waxed paper or parchment paper, and butter the paper. I just use a cookie sheet with edges, it doesn't have to be a jelly roll pan.
- Preheat the oven to 375, and separate the 4 eggs.
- Whip the 4 egg whites until stiff, then pour onto a plate and set aside. I always do the egg whites first, because then I don't have to wash out the mixer bowl.
- Put the 4 egg yolks in a mixer bowl with the sugar and beat until creamy. Add the vanilla and beat again.
- In a separate bowl combine the flour, salt and baking powder.
- Now fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture while sifting the flour over the top, stirring gently with a spatula.
- Spread evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 12 minutes, until it is light brown.
- Turn onto a towel dusted with powdered sugar, and roll up the long way inside the towel. This helps it keep its shape once it is filled.
Cup of Yum
Filling
- Once the cake has completely cooled inside the towel whip the heavy cream with the 2T of sugar. Stir in the blueberries.
- Unroll the sponge cake and spread with the creamy filling. Add extra blueberries if desired. Roll up the cake and set it on a plate.
Frosting
- In a mixer whip the heavy cream with 2 T of sugar until soft peaks form. Using a spatula gently fold in the mascarpone, lemon zest and blueberries until just combined.
- Spread the frosting over the filled cake roll. Garnish with extra blueberries if desired.
