Directions
In a mixing bowl, beat yolks on high until thickened, about 3 minutes.
Beat in molasses and butter.
In another bowl, beat whites until foamy; gradually add sugar, beating until soft peaks form.
Fold into yolk mixture.
Combine dry ingredients; gently fold into egg mixture until well mixed.
Line a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan with waxed paper; grease and flour paper.
Spread batter into pan. Bake at 375°F for 9-12 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched.
Turn onto a linen towel dusted with confectioners' sugar. Peel off paper and roll cake up in towel, starting with short end. Cool on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, beat the first five filling ingredients in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form.
Unroll cake; spread with half the filling. Roll up. Spread remaining filling over cake. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
