A moist jelly roll cake with the rich filling of pineapple upside down cake.

Ingredients:
Cake Ingredients:
4 large eggs, separated
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Confectioners' sugar

Filling Ingredients:
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter Butter
1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple in syrup, drained, reserve syrup
1/2 cup reserved pineapple syrup
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Garnish Ingredients:
Confectioners' sugar
Whipped cream, sweetened with sugar
Maraschino cherries

Instructions:
Heat oven to 375°F. Grease 15x10x1-inch jelly-roll pan. Line with waxed paper; grease waxed paper. Set aside.

Beat egg whites in small mixer bowl at high speed until foamy, 1-2 minutes. Continue beating, gradually adding 1/4 cup sugar, until glossy and stiff peaks form, 2-3 minutes. Set aside.

Combine remaining 1/2 cup sugar, egg yolks, baking powder, vanilla and salt in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed, 1-2 minutes. Gently stir in egg whites, alternately with flour, until just mixed.

Pour mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until center springs back when lightly touched. Immediately loosen cake from edges of pan. Invert onto towel sprinkled generously with confectioners' sugar. Remove pan; peel off waxed paper. While hot, starting with 10-inch side, roll up cake in towel. Cool completely.

Combine all filling ingredients in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a full boil, about 8-10 minutes. Continue boiling 1 minute. Refrigerate until completely cooled, 2-3 hours.

Unroll cooled cake; remove towel. Spread cake with cooled filling. Starting at short end, roll up cake. Transfer to serving platter. Cover; refrigerate until serving time.

To serve, cut jelly roll into slices. Garnish with confectioners' sugar, whipped cream and cherries, if desired.
