Jelly Roll

Submitted by Nell Majeran

"This recipe is so easy my mother would let me make it when I was only 10. I love raspberry and apricot jam, so those two would be used most often. Sometimes I would use lemon curd just to mix things up a bit."

The cake was a teeny bit dry but softened up after a couple of hours in plastic wrap. Not a crumb left over! Thanks Nell!

Did not work well for me. I only had an 11 by 17 pan, so it baked faster (about 7 minutes), but it stuck to the waxed paper after I took it out of the oven. My husband and I managed to peel enough of it away to salvage the dessert. I just put the "rough" side on the inside. If I try this again, I will use parchment instead of waxed paper.
