How to Make Ginger Spice Roll
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease and flour a 15x10x1 inch jelly roll pan. Line with parchment paper, ensuring it extends over the edges for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, beat 4 large egg yolks with an electric mixer at high speed for 4 minutes, until thick and pale yellow.
- Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter and 1/4 cup molasses. Beat for 1 minute until combined.
- In a separate clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg white mixture until just combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and springs back when lightly touched.
- While the cake is baking, dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar.
- Once baked, immediately invert the cake onto the prepared towel, carefully peeling off the parchment paper.
- Gently roll the cake up with the towel, starting from the short side. Let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened unsalted butter, and 2 cups powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Once the cake is completely cool, carefully unroll it and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface.
- Reroll the cake and dust with powdered sugar.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set.
- Slice into thin pinwheels and serve. Enjoy!
