Filling:

Gradually add in the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake is lightly golden and springs back when touched.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Take a clean kitchen towel and sprinkle it with powdered sugar.
Flip the cake onto the towel and gently peel off the parchment paper.
Roll the cake up in the towel, starting from the shorter end, and let it cool completely.
Unroll the cooled cake and spread the jam or jelly evenly over the cake.
Gently roll the cake back up and place it seam side down on a serving dish.
Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar and serve.
