Cherry Polka Dots Swiss Roll
Hi ALL! This is the Cherry Polka Dots Swiss Roll that I mentioned earlier. I used the same sponge cake recipe for Black Forest Cake and fresh topping whipped cream with dark sweet cherries as filling. (there are still some dark sweet cherries left… so stay tuned for another post ~ Almond Cheese Cake)
A Perfect Match ~ Can my Polka Dots Swiss Roll fits into Angel’s bag? (updated 10 Sept)

Here is the recipe
3 Eggs
20g Water
165 Optima flour
48g Melted Butter
1 tsp Vanilla extract
- Prepare a 12 inches square tray lined with parchment paper.
- Add eggs, water and optima flour in a mixing bowl and whisk at high speed till thick and fluffy then add vanilla extract, mix well.
- Lastly add in melted butter and mix well again.
- Scoop some plain batter into a small bowl and mix with 1/2 tbsp chocolate emulco, mix well and pour into piping bag with plain circle tip then pipe out polka dots on to the square tray about 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Put square tray into freezer for about 20 – 30 mins until the polka dots are set.
- Then quickly and carefully spread the plain batter on top of the polka dots evenly with a palette knife.
- Bake in preheated oven 180C at center rack for about 13 mins.
- Remove cake and parchment paper from baking tray immediately after baked and leave cake to cool.
- Remove the skin of the cake.
- Place a plastic sheet or greaseproof paper below the cake with the polka dots design facing down.
- Spread some fresh whipped cream (not too thick) on cake and add dark sweet cherries on top. Then roll it up and wrap with the plastic sheet.
- Put Cherry Polka Dots Swiss Roll in the fridge for few hours before slice.
Happy Baking!

Hi dear, I must take a look π
oh wow! what a CLEVER idea!!
Hi Ann
I noticed that there is no sugar and baking powder in your recipe but I have seen them in other swiss roll recipe. Could you tell me why you dont add these ingredients? Is it ok if I replace the butter with canola oil as I dont like butter? I am going to try this recipe cos my children will be fascinated with the design. Thanks.
The pattern on the swiss roll is so gorgeous. Seriously, you can open a bakery shop, Ann.
Oh this is so sweet. Great job!

Mary ~ No problem. Wait till you're here ;DD
Angel ~ hahaa…how about take a pic of your bag so I can match with my Swiss roll ;))
Min ~ It is quite easy to peel the skin. I think without peeling the skin sometime the filling can drop off from the cake.
Jane ~ 谢谢哦!*.*
Wendy ~ Oh really? Must make when you've the time.
Ya Ann I place it on the center rack , should I Try it on higher shelf ?? … My another humble request , pls upload cool cake recipe , where the cake is juicy smoothy unlike sPonge cake…

Hi Fathima, Only the top of cake is brown not the bottom. The polk dots are piped at the bottom.
Ann, sorry for bothering u so much.. But I find my cakes brown at the bottom … Wat would be the reason and how to avoid it ., since v need white bottom for this one … I Really want to try this fantabulous art cake
Fathima, sorry that I've not never encountered your problem before. BTW did you place the cake tray at the center of the rack in the oven?

Hi,
I'm using the optima flour also known as sponge mix that sugar and baking powder all inside. If you can't find optima flour, you can take a look at my Strawberry Swiss Roll using sugar and no baking powder.

My family would love this for the holidays, so I think I will have to experiment a little since we do not have optima flour or emulco.

Absolutely adoring! This is really clever! You've made your polka dots all so evenly sized!
