Swiss Roll
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and line a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat 4 eggs and 3/4 cup granulated sugar with an electric mixer on high speed for 5 minutes, or until thick and pale in color. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- While the cake is baking, lay a clean kitchen towel on the counter and dust it with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Once the cake is done, immediately invert it onto the towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake and towel together, starting from one short end. Allow the cake to cool completely in the rolled position.
- In a medium bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream evenly over the surface. Re-roll the cake without the towel, and place it seam side down on a serving platter.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
The Swiss Roll, also known as jelly roll or cream roll, is a classic dessert believed to have originated in Central Europe. Its name is a nod to its Swiss origins, but it is popular in many countries. This delectable treat consists of a light sponge cake spread with jam or cream, then rolled into a log shape. The origins of the Swiss Roll can be traced back to the 19th century, and it has since become a beloved dessert worldwide. Chefs and bakers in Switzerland, Austria, and England have all contributed to the evolution of this delightful confection. Today, the best Swiss Rolls can be found in traditional European bakeries, where skilled pastry chefs use high-quality ingredients and precise techniques to create the perfect balance of moist cake and flavorful filling. The key to a delicious Swiss Roll lies in achieving a light, airy sponge cake and a generous layer of luscious filling.
