Sponge Roll

4 servings

Ingredients

• sponge cake batter (see Sponge Cake "Roebuck Saddle") (as needed)
• jam (a little)
• egg whites (stiff, sugared peaks) (a little)

Instructions

1. Spread the sponge cake batter thinly onto a buttered baking sheet and bake in a moderately hot oven.
2. Loosen the sponge cake from the sheet by turning it over, spread the top side with jam, and roll it up lengthwise.
3. Place the roll back on the buttered baking sheet, coat the top with stiff, sugared egg white peaks, and bake until golden in the oven.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
