Strawberry Pomegranate Jelly Roll Cake, adapted from this recipe.
Serves 6 to 8 people

This recipe is a bit sentimental. My grandmother was a baker and she baked this type of cake all the time when my mom and her sisters were growing up. She is the reason why I have this baking gene (I guess).

Every time my mom sees this type of cake she gets sentimental and it trickles down to everyone else in the fam. Anyway, it’s a fun cake to bake, it looks fancy too, and it’s delish. What more can u ask for? Enjoy!

Recipe:

• 4 large eggs, separated
• 1/2 cup (100gr) sugar 
• 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon (65gr) rice flour
• 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon (65gr) millet flour
• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• pinch of salt
• softened butter for the baking sheet
• 1/2 cup to 1 cup strawberry jam
• powdered sugar to decorate

Preheat the oven to 375F. Butter the bottom of a baking sheet (I used 2 quarter sheet pans) and line with parchment paper, butter the paper liberally.

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow. Add the rice and millet flours, gum, baking pwder and salt. Switch to a spatula and fold the ingredients together briefly.
