Gingerbread Roll

When I was looking for holiday recipes on Pinterest, I ran across this great recipe for gingerbread roll cake. I’ve never made a roll cake before, but I thought I would try making this for Thanksgiving, and it was a big hit. It would be great for Christmas too.

I know pumpkin rolls are really popular, but this is a gingerbread roll. I’m not going to lie and say this is really easy to make. If you are a beginning cook, you may not want to try this for one of your first baking projects.

Considering this was my first time making a roll cake, I don’t think it turned out too bad. The homemade whipped cream is a nice touch. If you are pressed for time, you could substitute Cool Whip instead for the icing, but it definitely wouldn’t taste the same.

Ingredients:

• 3 eggs
• 1/4 c. molasses
• 1/4 c. honey
• 1 tbsp. melted butter
• 1/4 c. sugar
• 1 c. flour
• 1/4 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• Powdered sugar
• Filling:
• 1 1/2 c. heavy cream
• 1/3 c. powdered sugar
• 1 tsp. cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Grease and flour the parchment paper. The parchment paper will let you easily remove the cake from the pan after it is removed from the oven.
3. Separate the egg whites and yolks. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks until they are thick and creamy, 2-3 minutes. Beat in the molasses, honey, and melted butter.
