CRANBERRY-WALNUT JELLY ROLL

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound cranberries (fresh or frozen)
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cinnamon stick
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
Unsalted butter, softened, for the baking sheet
1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Cook the cranberries: Combine the cranberries, sugar and orange juice in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low; stir in the allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon stick and simmer 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Make the filling: Strain the cranberry mixture; set the berries aside. Return the liquid to the saucepan, bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook until syrupy, about 8 minutes.
  • Discard the cinnamon stick, then puree half of the cranberries in a blender; transfer to a bowl. Stir in the rest of the cranberries and the reduced syrup. Spread the mixture in a large baking dish so it cools more quickly. Refrigerate until completely cooled, about 20 minutes.
  • Make the batter: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Sift the flour, baking powder and cream of tartar into a bowl. Combine the eggs, granulated sugar, lemon zest and 1/3 cup water in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until light and airy, 3 to 5 minutes. Gently fold the egg mixture into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula. Do not overmix: The batter will lose some volume, but small bubbles should remain.
  • Bake the cake: Butter a 10-by-15-inch jelly roll pan, line with parchment paper and butter the parchment. Add the batter. Slowly tilt the pan back and forth to evenly distribute the batter. Bake until the cake is golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Unmold the cake: While the cake is still warm, place a slightly damp kitchen towel on top; lay a cutting board over the towel. Hold the cutting board and baking sheet together and flip over. Lift off the pan, then peel off the parchment. Let the cake cool slightly, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the filling: Dollop the cooled filling over the cake and spread gently, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. (Be careful not to tear the cake.) Sprinkle with the walnuts.
  • Roll the cake: Position the cake with a shorter end facing you. Use the towel to tip the edge of the cake forward and gently roll it over, using the towel to guide it. Once you make one full roll, pull the towel away and gently squeeze the cake to make the roll compact.
  • Continue rolling the cake, using the towel to guide it and gently squeezing as you go. Position the cake roll seam-side down and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight. Transfer to a platter and dust with confectioners' sugar. Slice and serve with whipped cream.
  • Chill the cake seam-side down to prevent it from unrolling.

Yield Makes 12 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
3 1/2 cups (or more) bread flour
1 tablespoon (packed) golden brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons quick-rising dry yeast (from one 1/4-ounce envelope)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil plus additional for coating bowl
1 large egg
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 large egg, beaten to blend (for glaze)
Raw sugar*

Steps:

  • Stir nuts in dry skillet over medium heat until toasted, about 5 minutes. Cool.
  • Mix 3 1/2 cups bread flour and next 3 ingredients in bowl of heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Warm milk in small saucepan over low heat until instant-read thermometer inserted into milk registers 95°F. Add oil; remove from heat. Add milk mixture and 1 egg to flour mixture. Mix on low speed until wet coarse ball forms, about 1 minute. Add nuts and cranberries. Replace paddle attachment on mixer with dough hook. Mix dough on low speed until smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky, adding more flour by tablespoonfuls as needed, about 4 minutes. Transfer dough to floured surface; knead 2 minutes.
  • Lightly oil large bowl. Shape dough into ball; place in prepared bowl, turning to coat with oil. Cover with plastic wrap; let dough rise at room temperature until almost doubled in volume, 1 3/4 to 2 hours.
  • Line large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer dough to unfloured surface; divide into 12 equal pieces. Using cupped hand, roll and rotate 1 dough piece firmly on work surface until dough piece pops up into cupped hand as smooth round ball, about 6 rotations. (This will make dough ball as smooth as possible; if necessary, wipe work surface with damp paper towel to help create traction.) Repeat with remaining dough pieces.
  • Transfer rolls to prepared baking sheet, spacing apart. Spray rolls with nonstick spray. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; let rise at room temperature until 1 1/2 times original size, about 1 1/2 hours. Brush rolls with egg glaze; sprinkle with raw sugar. Let rise 15 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, position rack in center of oven and preheat to 425°F.
  • Place rolls in oven; reduce oven temperature to 400°F and bake 7 minutes. Rotate baking sheet; bake rolls until golden and slightly firm to touch, about 8 minutes longer. Cool completely on rack. DO AHEAD: Wrap in foil, then enclose in resealable plastic bag and freeze up to 2 weeks. Thaw rolls at room temperature. If desired, rewarm rolls wrapped in foil in 350°F oven about 10 minutes.
  • Also called turbinado or demerara sugar; available at most supermarkets.

  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Baking the cake for too long can dry it out.
  • Let the cake cool completely before filling it: Filling the cake while it is still warm can cause the filling to melt and make the cake soggy.
