PEAR-RASPBERRY JELLY ROLL SHORTCAKES

Steps:

• Topping: Toss pears and sugar in a bowl; stir in raspberries. Refrigerate.
• Jelly Roll: Heat oven to 400°F. You'll need a 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1-in. jelly roll pan coated with nonstick spray; line with wax paper. Coat paper with nonstick spray; dust with 1 Tbsp cake flour. In small bowl, whisk remaining 1⁄2 cup flour and baking powder.
• In large bowl with mixer on medium-high speed, beat egg whites until soft peaks start to form. Gradually beat in 1⁄2 cup of the sugar. At high speed, continue to beat whites until stiff yet billowy peaks form.
• In a medium bowl, beat egg substitute with remaining 1⁄4 cup sugar 3 minutes, until lightened in color. Add vanilla. At low speed, beat in half of the flour mixture; fold into egg whites with remaining flour mixture and ginger. Spread in prepared pan. Bake 12 minutes, or until top springs back when pressed. Let cool on rack 2 minutes.
• Dust a clean kitchen towel with confectioners' sugar. Loosen cake from sides of pan; invert cake onto towel. Remove pan; peel off paper. Starting from a short end, roll up cake in towel; place seam-side down on rack and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Scrape preserves through mesh sieve to remove seeds. Unroll cake; spread with preserves. Reroll cake; place seam-side down on cutting board. Trim ends of cake roll.
• To serve, place a 1⁄2-inch slice jelly roll on a plate. Top with 1⁄4 cup fruit and 2 Tbsp whipped topping. Lean another slice against stack. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

RASPBERRY JELLY ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F Line an 18" x 13" half-sheet pan with parchment or aluminum foil, and grease the parchment or foil.
• Beat the eggs and salt at high speed until they're foamy.
• Gradually add the sugar, beating till thick and light-colored, about 3 minutes at high speed of an electric or stand mixer.
• Gently mix in the water and vanilla.
• Stir in the flour, scraping the bowl to make sure the mixture is thoroughly combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, making sure it spreads into the corners.
• Bake the cake till it's a light golden brown, and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 16 minutes.
• While the cake is baking, generously sprinkle confectioners' sugar on a smooth dish towel (not terry cloth) larger than 18" x 13". Gently rub/spread the sugar to cover the surface of the towel.
• Remove the cake from the oven, and turn the pan over onto the towel. Lift off the pan.
• Peel off the parchment or foil. Starting with a short end, gently roll the warm cake and towel into a log.
• Let the wrapped cake cool for 30 minutes, or until it's completely cool.
• Unroll the cooled cake, and lift it off the towel onto a clean work surface.
• Stir the jam till any lumps have smoothed out, and it's soft enough to spread easily. Spread it over the cake.
• Roll the cake up, again starting with a short end. Roll fairly tight without squashing; you may see excess jam oozing off the edge when you get to the end. That's OK; just scrape it off and use it on your toast.
• Sprinkle the cake heavily with confectioners' sugar.
• Let the cake set for an hour or so before serving. For prettiest slices, cut off each ragged end, and serve in 1" slices. A garnish of fruit, sauce, or whipped cream is always welcome.

RASPBERRY SHORTCAKE

Steps:

• In a bowl, toss the raspberries with 1 tablespoon of the sugar and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the flour, salt, the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar, baking powder, and lemon zest. Mix in the whipped cream until the mixture is moistened and just forms a ball. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead briefly just to bring the dough together.
• Form the dough into a log then use a rolling pin to roll it out into a long rectangle about 1-inch thick and 3 inches wide. Making diagonal strokes with a sharp knife, cut into 4 or 6 large triangular biscuits. Arrange on a sheet pan and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
• When ready to serve, split the biscuits in half horizontally. Place the bottoms on serving plates. On each, place a spoonful of raspberries with the syrup that has collected in the bowl, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkling of brown sugar. Place the top halves of the biscuits on top. Serve immediately.
