Apple jam roll
Description
This is a classic sponge cake roll recipe. You can vary the filling as desired, adding different jams, preserves, nuts, and dried fruits. Today I decided to make it with apple jam. The pastry is ready. Serve it at the table.

Step 1
For the dough, break 4 eggs into a bowl and combine them with sugar. Beat the mixture until the sugar dissolves slightly. In a separate bowl, mix flour with starch, then add baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the eggs and mix thoroughly. I use a blender for this.

Step 2
Take parchment paper and cut a piece to exactly fit the shape of your baking tray. Place the paper in the tray and thoroughly grease it with vegetable oil. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Now pour all the batter onto the paper, spreading it evenly to form a uniform layer. Bake the batter for about 8–10 minutes. It should not become hard, but should acquire a golden color.

Step 3
After baking the dough, do not turn off the oven. Now generously spread the resulting biscuit sheet with apple jam. It's most convenient to do this with a special spatula or a tablespoon. You can sprinkle a little cinnamon over the jam, according to taste.

Step 4
While the sponge cake layer is still warm, carefully roll it into a log. Don't try to roll it too tightly, otherwise the cake may crack. Handle it gently, using light motions, and avoid pressing the dough too hard.

Step 5
Carefully place the resulting roll on a baking sheet, seam side down. Beat one egg with a fork and brush it over the roll. Put the baking sheet in the oven for another 8 minutes. Let the finished roll cool completely, then slice it with a sharp knife.
