Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Jelly Roll Pan
  • Electric Mixer
  • Spatula
  • Kitchen Towel
  • Plastic Wrap

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Provides structure and stability to the roll.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Helps the cake rise.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Enhances overall flavors.

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large Eggs Bind ingredients and add moisture.
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness and moisture.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest Adds bright citrus flavor.

Filling

  • 1 cup Blackberries Mashed for filling.

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar For dusting the finished cake.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Melted for richness.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan by lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 5 minutes until thick and pale.
  • Add the lemon zest to the egg mixture and mix well.
  • Gradually fold in the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until no flour streaks remain.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly pressed.
  • Dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar and invert the cake onto it.
  • Starting from one short edge, roll the cake along with the towel while it’s still warm. Allow it to cool completely.
  • Prepare the blackberry filling by mashing the fresh blackberries in a bowl.
  • Once the cake is cool, gently unroll it and spread the blackberry filling evenly over the surface.
  • Carefully re-roll the cake without the towel and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar and slice into pieces.
