What Are Jelly Roll Cupcakes
Jelly roll cupcakes are small cakes baked in a sheet pan, then rolled with filling while still warm. They are cut into portions and often frosted, combining the texture of a jelly roll with the shape of a cupcake.
How They Differ From Regular Cupcakes
Traditional cupcakes are baked in round molds, while jelly roll cupcakes start as a flat sheet cake. The rolled structure creates a spiral cross-section and a softer, more uniform crumb.
Basic Baking Tips
Use a light, airy batter and bake on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Roll the cake around a clean towel immediately after baking to set the shape, then fill and frost once cooled.
