Lemon Coconut Matzo Jelly Roll Recipes

JELLY ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush an 11-by-17-inch jelly roll pan or rimmed baking sheet with vegetable oil and line with parchment paper; brush the paper with oil and dust with flour, tapping out the excess.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl. Whisk the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, milk, eggs and vanilla together in a large bowl. Add the flour mixture in 2 batches, whisking until incorporated. Transfer half of the batter (about 1 1/2 cups) to a separate bowl. Tint one batch red and the other batch blue with the food coloring.
• Spread the red and blue batters across the width of the prepared pan in alternating stripes, making each stripe about 2 inches wide (don't worry if the stripes aren't perfectly straight). Bake until the top springs back when pressed, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool about 3 minutes in the pan. Dust with confectioners' sugar and spread a clean kitchen towel (not terry cloth) on top. Place a cooling rack on the towel, then invert the cake onto the rack; peel off the parchment. Roll up the cake and towel together, starting at a short end. Let cool completely on the rack, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Gently unroll the cake (don't worry if the ends are still curled up). Spread the jam all the way to the edges. Reroll the cake (without the towel) and trim the ends. Top with dollops of whipped cream and garnish with shaved chocolate and mint. Slice and serve!

SHEET PAN JELLY ROLL

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat it to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan with nonstick baking spray. Line the bottom with parchment. Set aside.
• Beat the eggs, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on high speed until the mixture is pale and very thick (enough to hold a pattern in the wake of the whisk), about 10 minutes see Cook's Note). Reduce the speed to medium-high and drizzle in the butter and vanilla until just combined, about 10 seconds. Reduce the speed to low and add the sifted flour all at once. Beat until just combined, about 5 seconds. Gently fold the batter once or twice using a rubber spatula, then scrape it into the prepared sheet pan. Spread it evenly with the spatula, using broad, gentle strokes to keep the batter airy.
• Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until the top is set but still pale, about 15 minutes. Make sure not to overcook the cake or it will crack when you roll it.
• While the cake is still hot, sift a thin layer of confectioner's sugar over the top. Run a sharp paring knife around the edges of the cake to loosen it. Lay a clean kitchen towel over the cake and carefully flip the sheet pan onto a work surface. Gently peel off the parchment. Starting at one of the short ends, gently roll the still-warm cake and the towel together. (This must be done while the cake is hot to keep it from cracking.) Wear oven mitts, if needed.
• Allow the rolled-up cake to cool completely.
• Gently unroll the cake and spread the strawberry jam evenly over the cake using an offset spatula. Re-roll the cake this time without the towel and place on a platter seam-side down. Dust the top with more confectioner's sugar. Slice and serve.
