Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 13x18 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk together all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground ginger, kosher salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl.
- Beat the egg yolks in a large bowl until thick and pale, then mix in the molasses and melted butter until smooth.
- Whip the egg whites in a separate bowl until soft peaks form, then gradually add sugar until glossy and stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture, followed by the dry ingredients until just blended.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 9-12 minutes until the top is slightly golden.
- Allow the cake to cool briefly, then invert onto a sugar-dusted tea towel and roll into a log shape.
- Beat together cream cheese, softened butter, vanilla extract, and minced ginger until smooth and fluffy.
- Once the cake is cool, unroll it and spread the cream cheese filling, then roll it back up.
- Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
