Gradually add the 3/4 cup sugar; beat 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add pancake mix; beat on low speed until mixed. Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake in a 400 oven
until golden brown and cake springs back when lightly touched in the middle. Immediately loosen
cake from pan and transfer to a towel sprinkled with powdered sugar. Roll up towel and cake, jelly roll style,
starting from one of the short sides. Cool on a wire rack. Meanwhile add rum to peaches; set aside.
Beat together whipping cream and 1/2 cup sugar till stiff peaks form. Unroll cake, remove towel.
Spread cake with 1/2 whipped cream mixture. Top with drained peaches. Spread with remaining
cream. If desired, sprinkle with powered sugar.
Cover and chill till serving time. Makes 10 servings.
Notes: Instead of a towel, I have used wax paper or parchment paper. Linen towels work better than terry cloth.
Also, I have made this using raspberries or strawberries.
