Description
A delightful Strawberry & Cream Swiss Roll recipe that combines a light sponge cake with a creamy filling and fresh strawberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 100 g (½ cup) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100 g (¾ cup) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp milk
- 200 ml (¾ cup) heavy cream, chilled
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 100 g cream cheese (optional, for stability)
- 150 g strawberry jam
- Extra strawberry jam (for topping)
- Fresh strawberries (for garnish)
- Whipped cream (for decoration)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- Beat eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until pale, thick, and tripled in volume (about 5 minutes). Add vanilla.
- Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined.
- Add milk and fold again (batter should be airy). Spread evenly in prepared pan.
- Bake 10–12 minutes, until golden and springy to touch.
- While still warm, invert sponge onto a clean tea towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off parchment paper.
- Roll cake up with the towel (short side) while warm to prevent cracks. Let cool completely.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar (and cream cheese if using) until stiff peaks form.
- Unroll cooled sponge. Spread a thin layer of strawberry jam, then the whipped cream. Roll cake back up tightly.
- Spread a little strawberry jam on top. Pipe swirls of whipped cream. Garnish with fresh strawberries and dust with powdered sugar.
Notes
- Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for better volume.
- Use a light hand when folding in the flour to maintain the airy texture.
- Chill the heavy cream for better whipping results.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the filling to your taste.
