Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 eggs, separated
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
Homemade Strawberry Jam:
- 1 cup ripe strawberries
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Line a 12-1/4 x 8-1/4 x 1-inch shallow baking pan with parchment paper coated with non stick spray or butter.
- In a medium bowl, whip egg whites until stiff but not dry.
- Without washing beaters, beat egg yolks in a large bowl.
- Add sugar gradually. Continue to beat until very thick.
- Fold cornstarch and vanilla into egg yolks.
- Carefully fold egg whites into yolk mixture and pour batter into prepared pan. Smooth batter evenly and bake 12 - 15 minutes, or until cake springs back when gently pressed.

- Once the cake has cooled, unroll and spread lightly with cottage cheese mixture and then the jam.
- Roll cake to enclose filling, seam side down.
- Dust with confectioner's sugar and refrigerate before serving.
- Enjoy!
