jellyrolls
Swirled sponge desserts
Jellyrolls is the plural of jellyroll, a sponge cake spread with jelly or jam and rolled into a cylinder, then sliced to reveal a spiral pattern.
The shape lends itself to figurative uses: a jellyroll is also a roll of fat around the midsection, and in blues slang it refers to sex or a sexual partner.
She baked jellyrolls for the church potluck.
The term appears in early blues lyrics with unmistakably carnal meaning.
