Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 10x15 jelly roll pan by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until stiff peaks form.
- In the same bowl, add egg yolks, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla; beat until smooth and creamy.
- Whisk together all-purpose flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt; mix into yolk mixture with yogurt and molasses.
- Fold the whipped egg whites into the batter gently until just combined.
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake for about 10 minutes until golden.
- Invert the cake onto a sugar-dusted towel, remove parchment, and roll the cake up in the towel.
- Prepare sugared cranberries by simmering water and sugar, dipping cranberries in syrup, then rolling in sugar.
- Beat mascarpone (or coconut cream) with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form for filling.
- Unroll the cooled cake, spread filling, and roll back up without the towel, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Whisk egg whites and granulated sugar over a double boiler until sugar dissolves; then beat until stiff peaks form to make meringue.
- Spread meringue over the cake and shape with a fork for a snowy appearance.
- Torch edges of meringue if desired and decorate with sugared cranberries before serving.
