Ingredients
- Spray for cooking
- 3 eggs, separated and large
- ¼ cup sugar, white
- ½ cup molasses, dark
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted with salt
- 1 cup flour, all-purpose
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ground
- ½ teaspoon cloves, ground
- ½ teaspoon ginger, ground
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, or more if required
- Cream with spices:
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream to whip
- ½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon cloves, ground
Step 1
Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to create the perfect baking environment. Prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with cooking spray, laying a sheet of waxed paper on top, and applying another round of spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Start by whipping egg whites in a suitable bowl until they form a foamy texture. Gradually incorporate sugar into the mixture, continuing to beat until stiff peaks are achieved.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks vigorously until they become thick and creamy, which usually takes around 5 minutes. Add molasses and melted butter to this mixture before gently folding in the whipped egg whites.
Step 4
Next, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and salt in a separate bowl. Sift this mixture onto the batter and carefully fold it in. Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake the batter in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, typically within 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 6
While the cake cools, dust a kitchen towel with powdered sugar and carefully invert the cake onto it. Remove the waxed paper and roll up the cake using the towel. Let it cool with the seam side down for approximately 30 minutes.
Step 7
In the meantime, prepare the spiced cream by combining heavy cream, powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and cloves in a bowl. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer until it reaches a frosting-like consistency.
Step 8
Once the cake has cooled, carefully unroll it and spread half of the spiced cream on top. Roll the cake back up without the towel and spread the remaining cream on the top and sides of the cake roll for a delightful finish.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
