Description

A light and fluffy Japanese cake roll filled with whipped cream and fresh fruit, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 100g granulated sugar
  • 80g all-purpose flour
  • 30g unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 200ml heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the cream)
  • Fresh fruits or jam (optional, for filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
  3. Gently fold in the flour; then add the melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  4. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake turns lightly golden.
  6. Once baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
  7. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  8. Carefully roll the cooled cake, using the parchment paper to help, into a log shape and let it cool completely in that shape.
  9. Unroll the cake, spread the whipped cream inside and add fresh fruits or jam if you desire.
  10. Roll the cake back up gently and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or drizzle some chocolate sauce for an elegant touch.
