Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

cooking spray
3 large eggs, separated
¼ cup white sugar
½ cup dark molasses
1 tablespoon salted butter, melted
1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground ginger
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon powdered sugar, or more as needed
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
½ cup sifted powdered sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray, set a piece of waxed paper on top, and spray wax paper.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Beat egg yolks at high speed in a second bowl until thick and creamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in molasses and melted butter. Fold in egg whites.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and salt in a bowl. Sift onto the batter and carefully fold in. Spread batter onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the sheet comes out clean, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Dust a kitchen towel with powdered sugar. Invert cake onto the towel. Pull off waxed paper and carefully roll up cake up using the towel. Allow to cool seam side down, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the spiced cream. Combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and cloves in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until cream has the consistency of frosting.
  • Carefully unroll the cake and spread 1/2 of the spiced cream on top. Roll cake roll back up, without the towel, and spread remaining cream around the top and sides of the cake roll.
