 Gingerbread Ice Cream Roll

 

A fun holiday treat...
 

4 large 

 

eggs

 

¾ cup 

 

sifted flour

 

½ tsp 

 

salt

 

½ tsp 

 

baking soda

 

½ tsp 

 

ground ginger

 

½ tsp 

 

ground cinnamon

 

¼ tsp 

 

ground cloves

 

¼ tsp 

 

ground allspice

 

½ cup 

 

granulated sugar

 

½ cup 

 

light molasses

 

 

 

powdered sugar

 

1 pint 

 

soft ice cream- vanilla, pineapple or maple-walnut

 

 

1

In large bowl of electric mixer, let eggs warm to room temperature (about 1 hour).

2

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease 15½ x 10½ jelly roll pan. Line bottom, not sides with waxed paper or parchment paper. Grease paper lightly.

3

Sift flour with salt, soda and spices; set aside.

4

At high speed, beat eggs until thick and lemon-colored (3-4 min.). Gradually beat in sugar a little at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until mixture is very thick and light, about 5 minutes. At low speed, blend in flour mixture until smooth. Add molasses; beat until combined. Turn batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake 12-15 min., or just until surface springs back when gently pressed with fingertips.

5

Meanwhile, sift some powdered sugar onto a clean towel in the shape of a 15 x 10" rectangle. Loosen edges of cake with a sharp knife. Turn out cake onto sugar. Gently peel off waxed paper. Trim edges of cake evenly. Starting from the short side, roll up cake in towel, jelly roll fashion. Place seam side down on wire rack to cool.

6

When cake has cooled, gently unroll and remove towel. Spread cake with ice cream and re-roll.

7

Freezer wrap and freeze for 1 hour, or until ready to serve. Before serving, sift additional powdered sugar over top of roll, if desired. Cut into slices to serve.
