GRANDMA KATE'S JELLY ROLL SPONGE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• PREPARE PAN: Carefully grease the bottom only of a pan, either jelly roll 11" X 17" X 1", or if using for shortcake, bake in a 9" X 13". Line bottom only with parchment if desired; set aside.
• PREPARE TOWEL: Place a clean linen kitchen towel flat on counter. Sift powdered sugar over the towel to cover it completely.
• PREPARE JELLY: Place ¾ to 1 cup jelly or jam of your choice into a bowl. Stir vigorously to break up jelly and make it easy to spread.
• PREPARE BATTER: Beat eggs well. Add sugar, vanilla and salt, and beat for at least 5 minutes. The sugar and egg mixture should be pale yellow and increased in volume, and leave a ribbon when the beater is raised.
• Sift flour, salt and baking powder together in a small bowl. Gradually fold the flour into the egg mixture, trying to keep as much volume as possible.
• Turn batter into prepared pan, spread gently to even thickness.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until light golden brown around the edges, and the center springs back when touched lightly with a finger.
• Remove from oven. For jelly roll, allow to cool for 1 to 2 minutes, while loosening the edges with a butter knife. When edges are loose, turn the cake out onto the sugared towel. Remove parchment immediately.
• Roll up along the long edge, rolling the towel up inside the cake roll. Let set for a few minutes, unroll while still warm, then right away spread inner surface with jam, reroll, and wrap roll in sugared towel to hold in place until cool.
• Place on serving plate or board with seam side down. Top with additional powdered sugar. Slice into 1" slices.

KATE'S HEARTY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Use a food processor on pulse to finely chop the celery, onion,green pepper, and carrots until finey chopped or shredded. Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and divide equally into two separate meat loaves. Add a squirt of ketchup to the top of each in a zig- zaggy design. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for about an hour (depending on oven) or until bubbly and center is no longer pink. During the last 15 minutes of cooking, remove the foil covering and finish baking uncovered.

SPONGE CAKE

Steps:

• Arrange an oven rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 325 degrees. If making a roulade, brush the bottom of a 10-by-15-inch jelly roll pan with a light coating of oil. Do not brush the sides, as the cake needs to be able to cling to the pan as it rises. Line only the bottom of the pan with a piece of parchment paper, smoothing to eliminate air bubbles. If baking in a 9-inch springform pan, leave the pan ungreased and unlined.
• In a wide, medium bowl, combine the egg whites, 1/4 cup sugar, the kosher salt and cream of tartar. Beat the mixture with a hand mixer fitted with the beaters on medium-low speed until the mixture looks frothy, then start to slowly increase the speed to medium-high. Continue to beat the egg whites until you have a dense, voluminous, glossy foam that forms stiff peaks, about 4 minutes. When you lift the beaters out of the bowl, the egg whites should come to a straight point that doesn't droop. Don't beat beyond this point, or the whites will become dry and lumpy. Set the bowl aside.
• In a separate wide bowl, combine the egg yolks and the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Beat with the hand mixer (no need to wash it after you beat the egg whites) on medium-high until the mixture is very pale and fluffy and forms a slowly dissolving ribbon as it falls off the beaters back into the bowl, about 4 minutes. Slowly stream in the 1/4 cup oil, beating constantly to ensure it emulsifies into the yolk mixture, until you have a smooth, light mixture that looks like mayonnaise.
• Reduce the mixer to the lowest speed, add half of the flour and mix just until incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon water, mix until incorporated, then add the remaining flour and mix just until it disappears. The mixture will have thickened and look a bit like cake batter.
• Fold the yolk mixture once or twice with a large flexible spatula to make sure it's evenly mixed, then scrape about a third of the egg white mixture into the yolk mixture and thoroughly fold in the whites until the mixture is loosened. Working more gently, fold in half of the remaining egg whites until only a few streaks remain. Fold in the remaining whites, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl, until you have a light, smooth, evenly mixed batter.
• Scrape the batter into the pan and smooth into an even layer. Firmly rap the pan on the surface once or twice to pop any large air bubbles. Bake the cake until it's golden brown, firm and springy to the touch across the entire surface, 25 to 30 minutes for a jelly roll and 30 to 35 minutes for a 9-inch cake. Remove the cake from the oven and immediately invert the pan onto a wire rack. Let the cake cool completely upside down to prevent it from collapsing.
• Reinvert the cooled pan and cut along the sides with a small offset spatula or paring knife to loosen the cake. It will sink a bit, which is normal. If making a jelly roll, turn the sponge out onto the wire rack and peel off the parchment. If making a 9-inch cake, remove the ring of the springform pan, invert the cake onto the rack, and carefully peel off the bottom of the pan (it should come away cleanly, leaving behind just a thin film).
• Use the sponge as desired. The unfilled sponge cake will keep at room temperature, tightly wrapped, for several days, but will become sticky after the first day.

JELLY ROLL

Steps:

• Beat eggs until thick. Gradually beat in remaining ingredients.
• Pour into jelly roll pan and bake at 350 degrees for 12 - 15 minutes.
• While jelly roll is baking, lay out a clean linen dish towel and sift about 1/2 cup of confectiones sugar onto it.
• Do not let jelly roll cool after taking out of the oven. Immediately turn out onto the prepared dish towel. Spread with favorite jam or jelly and use towel to help roll into a log shape. Trim ends. The powdered sugar will have stuck to jelly roll. Let cool and serve.

RASPBERRY COCONUT JELLY ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 10 1/2" by 15 1/2" jelly roll pan with baking parchment and lightly coat with nonstick vegetable spray.
• Into a large bowl, sift the flour and baking powder together three times.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks, vanilla, and 1/4 cup of the sugar together until thick, pale yellow and when drizzled, will hold a ribbon shape for 2 seconds on the surface. This should take about 5 minutes.
• Fold in the flour mixture.
• In another clean, dry mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with the pinches of salt and cream of tartar until creamy and foamy. With the mixer still running, sprinkle in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and whisk until the egg whites hold very soft peaks (the consistency of shaving cream).
• In thirds, fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake for 8 minutes, until barely golden. Set the pan on a rack to cool.
• Make the vanilla cream filling: With an electric mixer, beat together the vegetable shortening and butter until blended. Turn the mixer down to its lowest setting and gradually add the confectioners' sugar. Turn the mixer back up and beat at high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. At a drizzle, gradually beat in the vanilla and corn syrup until the filling is the consistency of mayonnaise, about 2 minute more.
• Run the tip of a knife around the edge of the cake to loosen it from the sides. Dust the surface with confectioners' sugar. Flip the cake onto a dry work surface. With a spatula, spread a 1/8" thick layer of vanilla cream over the cake. Mix the preserves and water until smooth, then carefully spread 1/3 of it in a very thin layer over the vanilla cream. Roll up tightly. Spread the rest of the preserves around the outside of the roll. Sprinkle the coconut on a cookie sheet. Roll the cake through the coconut to coat completely. Refrigerate for 1 hour to set, then trim the ends even.

• While the cake is baking prepare a large towel (I use a bath towel) by laying it on the table and sprinkling with confectioners sugar. Tip the finished cake onto the towel, and working quickly, trim 1/8 inch off the edges of the cake. Roll up in the towel and set aside to cool.
• Filling:.
• In a microwave safe bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, juice and zest until smooth. (I'm going to add some green food colouring to make it more appropriate for St Patricks day).

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Butter a baking sheet or line with parchment paper, and set aside.
• Roll out one sheet of the puff pastry into an 11-inch square. Keep the pastry cool, do not knead or stretch. Use a large pie plate, cake pan or frying pan to trace an 11 inch circle onto the dough using the tip of a small knife. Place the circle of pastry onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the second sheet of pastry. Refrigerate both sheets.
• Mound the almond filling onto the center of the pastry that is on the baking sheet. Leave about 1 1/2 inch margin at the edges. Press the bean or feve down into the filling. Place the second sheet of pastry on top, and press down the edges to seal. Beat the remaining egg with a fork, and lightly brush onto the top of the galette. Use a knife to make a crisscross pattern in the egg wash, and then prick several small slits in the top to vent steam while baking.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Do not open the oven until the time is up, as the pastry will not fully puff. Remove from the oven, and dust with confectioners' sugar. Return to the oven, and cook for an additional 12 to 15 minutes, or until the top is a deep golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• Lay a golden paper crown gently on top of the cake. This will be used to crown the person who finds the bean or feve. Serve warm or cold. Make sure to tell everyone about the bean or feve.
