Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Spray two baking pans (measuring 15x10x1-inch) with baking spray. Line them with parchment paper and spray the paper with additional baking spray. Set aside.

  3. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of confectioners' sugar onto each of two clean kitchen towels. Set the towels aside.

  4. In a large bowl, beat the cake mix, eggs, and water with an electric mixer on low speed for about 30 seconds or until well blended. Then, beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared pans.

  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the centers comes out clean.

  6. Run a knife or small spatula around the rims of the pans to loosen the cakes. Immediately invert each cake onto a prepared towel, remove the pan, and carefully peel off the parchment paper. Roll up each cake and towel starting from one of the short sides to form two separate rolls. Allow them to cool completely on wire racks.

  7. In the meantime, combine the cranberries and granulated sugar in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until the cranberries release their juice and the sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally. Stir in the pecans and allow the mixture to cool completely.

  8. Unroll the cakes and spread 1/2 cup of marmalade
