How To Make cake bread
-
1Redaction: 1 cup flour ½ cup sugar 2 tsp. ginger 1 tsp. baking soda ½ tsp. baking powder ½ tsp. cinnamon ¼ tsp. salt ¼ tsp. nutmeg 6 T butter, melted ¼ cup molasses 1 egg ½ cup hot water Filling: ¾ cup currants 1 cup heavy cream 2 cups apple butter Preheat oven to 350. Prepare jelly roll pan by greasing pan, cover in wax paper. [After making this recipe, I would recommend greasing the waxed paper that contacts the cake batter as well.] Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, molasses, egg and ½ cup hot water. Whisk molasses mixture into flour mixture just until smooth. Spread batter evenly in pan. Sprinkle currants over cake batter. Bake for 15 minutes, or until top springs back when lightly touched. Remove cake from oven. Invert hot cake onto a towel. Peel off waxed paper. Trim ¼ inch from edges of cake. Starting from a long side, roll cake jelly-roll fashion. Cool completely on wire rack. In medium bowl, beat 1 cup whipped cream at high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold in apple butter. Unroll cooled cake (cake may crack) and spread whipped cream mixture evenly on top, leaving a ½ inch border. Starting from the same long side, roll up cake and transfer to serving platter. Refrigerate until ready to serve. To preserve the whipped topping and prevent any risk of spoilage due to heat, the rolled cake was frozen prior to transporting it to site.
