Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- In a larger bowl, beat together the eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, then slowly add in the apple cider.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched.
- While the cake is baking, sprinkle a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar.
- Once the cake is done, invert it onto the prepared towel and peel off the parchment paper.
- Start rolling the cake and towel together from the short end and let it cool completely while rolled.
Assembly
- In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream evenly across the surface. Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle diced apples.
- Roll the cake back up without the towel, dust with powdered sugar and drizzle more caramel sauce before serving.
Notes
Tips include chilling the cream for fluffiness and choosing a blend of sweet and tart apples for the filling. Allow cooling to prevent melting of the filling.
