PEACHES AND CREAM ROLL



The secret to this failproof sponge cake is the buttermilk pancake mix in the batter.

INGREDIENTS:

3 eggs
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packaged complete buttermilk pancake mix
Powdered sugar
1 Tbsp light or dark rum
4 large peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped (4 cups), or one 16-ounce package frozen unsweetened peach slices, thawed, drained, and chopped
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar

1.-Beat eggs, salt, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high speed about 4 minutes or until thick. Gradually add the 3/4 cup granulated sugar; beat on medium speed for 4 to 5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add pancake mix; beat on low speed just until combined. Spread batter in a greased and floured 15x10x1-inch baking pan.

2.- Bake in a 400° F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden and cake springs back when lightly touched near center. Immediately loosen edges of cake from pan and turn cake out onto a towel sprinkled with powdered sugar. Roll up towel and cake into a spiral, starting from one of the short sides. Cool on a wire rack.

3.-Meanwhile, add rum to peaches; set aside. Beat together whipping cream and the 1/2 cup granulated sugar until stiff peaks form. Unroll cake; remove towel. Drain peaches. Spread cake with half of the whipped cream; top with drained peaches. Spread with remaining whipped cream. Roll up cake. Place seam side down on a serving platter. If desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cover and chill up to 2 hours. Transport in an insulated cooler with ice packs. To serve, cut into 1-inch-thick slices.

YIELD: 10 servings.
