Here's a basic recipe for a Swiss Roll:
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
100g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
100g (3/4 cup) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Jam or filling of your choice (e.g., strawberry jam, whipped cream, chocolate ganache)
Instructions:
Preparation:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Grease and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Making the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer or a whisk. Beat until the mixture becomes pale, fluffy, and doubles in volume.
Incorporating Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the egg-sugar mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to maintain the airiness of the batter.
Add the vanilla extract and fold it into the batter.
Baking:
Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes or until the cake is lightly golden and springs back when gently touched.
Rolling the Cake:
While the cake is still warm, place a clean kitchen towel or parchment paper on your work surface and dust it with powdered sugar.
Carefully invert the baked cake onto the sugared towel/paper.
Gently peel off the parchment paper that was used for baking.
Filling and Rolling:
Spread a thin, even layer of your chosen filling (jam, whipped cream, ganache) over the entire surface of the cake.
Starting from one edge, carefully roll the cake along with the towel/paper. Roll it tightly but not too tight, so the filling doesn't squeeze out.
Finalizing:
Once rolled, place the Swiss roll seam side down and allow it to cool completely. This helps the roll to hold its shape.
Serving:
Once cooled, transfer the Swiss roll to a serving plate.
Dust the top with powdered sugar for decoration.
Slice and serve!
Enjoy your homemade Swiss roll!
Remember, this is a basic recipe, and you can get creative with different fillings, such as fresh fruits, flavored creams, or even savory options.
