Ingredients:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. salt 4 eggs, separated 1 Tbsp. cold water 1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup sugar 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar Whipped cream Chocolate sprinkles Maraschino cherries
Directions:
Makes 16Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 15 1/2-inch x 10 1/2-inch jelly-roll pan. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and water together; gradually add the 1/2 cup sugar. Beat on high until glossy. Set aside. In another mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the 1/3 cup sugar gradually; then add the vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes more. Fold the yolks into the whites, then fold in the dry ingredients; don't overmix. Spread the batter evenly in the pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until lightly browned and springy to the touch. While the cake is cooking, sprinkle a clean towel with the confectioner's sugar. Turn the cake out onto the towel and place it on a rack to cool. Cut out rounds of cake with a 2 1/2-inch cookie cutter. Top each round with whipped cream, chocolate sprinkles, and a maraschino cherry. (If you'd like more cake, use 2 rounds to a serving.) | |
