RCP: Cake & Ice Cream "Jelly Roll"

I've never had anything quite like this, but I like the idea. It's a very basic recipe that could be enhanced easily with textural features like dried fruit or nuts, and quite elegant to serve garnished with a few more of same. I'm picturing coffee ice cream with espresso beans....

3 eggs
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup cake flour
1/4 cup cocoa
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
Confectioners' sugar
1 quart ice cream

Beat eggs very lightly and add the sugar gradually, beating after each addition. Add 1/4 cup cold water. Sift flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt together. Add egg mixture, beating slowly. Flavor with vanilla. Line a greased 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 1 inch jelly-roll pan with wax paper and grease again. Pour in the batter, spread smooth, and bake in a 425 degree oven for 12-15 minutes. Turn out on a towel sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Remove wax paper and trim crisp edges. Roll up in a towel. Cool. Unroll and spread with ice cream softened enough to spread. Roll up quickly, wrap in foil, and keep in freezer until ready to serve. Slice and serve.

Jenise, these have been around in Baskin Robbins and Dairy Queens for as long as I've been alive. Love 'em! They make a great kids' party treat.

I guess I've seen those--I may have even eaten one or two, but "kids party treat" is precisely all that my memory holds for anything of this type. Never considered its potential as an adult dinner party food until stumbling over this recipe this morning.

I used to make these all the time. I used to have a fave, pumpkin roll with a cream cheese filling. It was also beautiful.
Humm....will have to look it up and see if I still have it. Thanksgiving is calling!
