What You Need:

 

3 eggs, separated

1 C flour, divided

1/2 C + 1 T sugar, divided

2 t cinnamon

1 t baking powder

1 t ginger

1 t cloves

1/4 t baking soda

1/4 C butter, melted

1/4 C molasses

2 T water

1 T confectioners’ sugar

2 C prepared apple butter

 

How to Make It:

 

Place the egg whites in a small mixing bowl and allow the whites to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Place a piece of wax paper on a large cookie sheet.

Spray the wax paper with a non stick cooking spray.

Sprinkle the prepared wax paper with 1 T of flour and 2 T of sugar then set aside.

Set the oven temperature to 375 degrees and allow the oven to preheat.

Place the remaining flour and sugar into a large mixing bowl.

Stir in the cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, cloves and baking soda.

Whisk the egg yolks and butter together in a separate bowl.

Add the molasses and water and whisk until well combined.

Add the egg yolk mixture to the flour mixture.

Use an electric mixer on low speed and beat the mixture until the dry ingredients are completely moistened.

Beat the egg whites with the electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.

Fold the egg whites into the batter.

Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared pan.

Bake 14 minutes or until the cake bounces back when lightly touched.

Cool the cake for 5 minutes.

Lay a kitchen towel on a flat surface and dust with the confectioners’ sugar.

Place the cake on the towel and roll the cake like a jelly roll.

Allow the cake to cool to room temperature.

Unroll the cake and spread with the apple butter not quite to the edges.

Reroll the cake, place in a pan, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before slicing.
