The Aspiring Bakers July's challenge is Swiss Rolling Good Times and I've seen many talented bloggers making beautiful Swiss Rolls with eggs separated method and created amazing patterns on the sponge. I had already tried the sponge new method on my Durian Ice Cream Roll and to my surprise the sponge is really very soft and easy to roll too. So today I made another sponge to go with my favorite Mark and Spencer strawberry jam. The jam has a nice rosy color and it gives a not too sweet and delicious flavor to my liking. I hope you enjoy this post and let the good times roll :))
70g Cake flour or All purpose flour
20g Sugar
4 Egg yolks
30g Cooking oil
30g Fresh milk or water
1tsp Vanilla extract
4 Egg whites
50g Sugar
sorry for the poor photography, my camera didn't seem to want to focus :(
- Prepare a 11 x 11 (or 10 x 10) inch baking tray, line with parchment paper or baking sheet, grease some oil on it with a brush.
- In a large bowl, mix egg yolks, vanilla extract, sugar, cooking oil and fresh milk together with a hand whisk, mix well and add in sifted flour, mix well again, set aside.
- Whisk egg white to foamy and add sugar, continue to whisk egg white to smooth peak form at medium speed.
- Take out 2 tbsp egg yolk mixture and 2 tsp egg white mix with little rose pink coloring and pipe dots on baking tray, using a skewer dragged outward from the center to create your own pattern and put in preheated oven at 170C for 1 minute.
- Then fold 1/3 of the egg white to the egg yolk mixture, fold well with a rubber spatula and fold in the remaining egg white.
- Make sure the baking tray is completely cooled down before pouring the plain mixture into it. Level the surface
- Gently knock the tray on table top to remove air bubbles trapped in the batter and bake for 15 mins.
- Turn cooled sponge onto a plastic sheet. Gently peel off baking sheet from the bottom of sponge and invert the sponge with skin facing up. Trim one end on a 45 degree angle and trim the other end on a similar angle. Spread an even layer of strawberry jam over top of sponge.
- Gently roll up the sponge to make a Swiss roll. (place a tea towel underneath to prevent plastic sheet slip) Wrap with plastic sheet or cling wrap and chill it for one hour.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteLovely swiss roll, yum yum.....
ReplyDelete你的作品总是很赞。
ReplyDelete我也很想卷，但先学好我的戚风蛋糕。
I love your swiss roll texture. It must be yummy. I also made the roll with strawberry jam, I still think it's best suit with vanilla swiss roll instead of green tea flavour swiss roll.
ReplyDeleteanother beautiful swiss roll from you, really love the color scheme here...so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove this roll look absolutely amazing and nice, gloria
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!! im drooling over.. its so neat and fabulous presentation ancoo..i had tried before and it was a big tragedy..After making i put it in a sugar sprinkles parchmnt paperabove a kitchen towel and covered it. but when i tried to open it to apply jam it was broken into pieces :(
ReplyDeleteagain tried with another recipe. but result was the same.. :( so now im afraid to try it.. this is so tempting and i would love to try. ..please tell me what i should do next time to avoid these problems.
wow i love the rosy pink patterns on the surface layer...will try this one day once i perfect my rolling skills -_-
ReplyDeleteVery nice roll cake..:)
ReplyDelete很美的蛋糕卷。
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good! I just want to grab my fork and come on over.
ReplyDelete好的谢谢你的encouragement. I will try .....
ReplyDeleteThe two soft spongy cakes I like are chiffon cake and swiss roll :D ...and you seem to be a professional in all of them.
ReplyDeleteso nice and beautiful...
ReplyDeleteHi first time dropping by your blog.. i love this swiss roll !
ReplyDeletecan you tell how do you make the red star pattern? it is by sugar icing?
This is a "top-stars" rating Swiss Roll! What a great idea to add design into Swiss Roll.
ReplyDelete@Lena Rashmin Raj
ReplyDeleteHi Lena, Thank you! Last time I used the basic sponge cake recipe, it was either too dry (cannot roll at all) or cracked after rolling.
You must try this egg separation method, is really easy and its doesn't cracks.
Please check on the Aspiring Bakers post on 1st August, those talented bloggers really done a good job on the rolls.
@Bobo
ReplyDeleteHi Bobo, thank you for dropping by.
Is not icing sugar, the method of making the star is already written in the recipe....
take out 2 tbsp egg yolk mixture with 2 tsp whisked egg white and mix together with some coloring. Pour it into a piping bag and pipe dots on the tray (not too close), then use toothpick or skewer to drag outward from the center to a star shape and bake for one minute.

ReplyDeleteI learn a no. of tips from your steps and pictures. :) Must put into practise. :)
ReplyDeleteBtw, I have the pastry mat too. How do you make it stick well or not movable on the table top?
Joyce, I thought you already posted the Swiss roll. Hurry up... still got time to make one.
ReplyDeleteHanushi, hehee.. I used scotchtape to tape the four corner :)
Anncoo, hugs!! Your reply is so honest and straightforward. And you don't laugh at my question or my lack of intelligence. Thanks!!! I will follow suit and tape it too. :D
ReplyDeleteDear @Anncoo, Thanks for telling me on my profile limitation as now I only realized that my profile is not share with public. So nice meeting you, seriously. Can I reconfirm with you to put your blog link in my website? Also, do you have foodbuzz account?

ReplyDeletehi Ann
ReplyDeleteI LOVE YOU !!!!!
I have no idea why, but swiss roll / sponge rolls were one thing I knew I had to try and make this year but was really scared to do.
You make it look so easy, so I HAVE had a go. Mine is chilling in the fridge now (just rolled it in a silicone mat)
It isn't as pretty as yours - but hey - I've done it :-)
Can I blog the recipe and link back to you. I'm scared to fiddle with it when it already loooks sooooo good !
Thanks Cheah and Daphe :)
ReplyDeleteHope both of you have a wonderful weekend :))
@Sarah-Jane - SiliconeMoulds.com
ReplyDeleteHURRAY!! Sarah, I'm so happy to hear that (n_n). Of course you can blog the recipe and I can't wait to see your swiss roll.
Keep rolling!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteIf my tray is 12x12, is it possible to use this recipe? Tks.
Wanna
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteHi Wanna, yes you can use 12 x 12 but the sponge will be thinner like the Durian Ice Cream roll.
