Instructions
- Sieve the flour, cocoa powder, Cornflour, salt together. Keep aside. Remove 1 tbsp out of the sugar and keep aside too.
- Whisk the eggs, yolks, sugar and vanilla extract together until it is pasty and falls back like ribbon.
- Add the flour mix in 2 parts into the egg mixture, fold it in.
- Now whisk the egg whites with the 1 tbsp of sugar, till it reaches firm peaks. Mix this into the flour mix.
- Pour this into a rectangular tin (43 cm Ã- 30 cm) lined with butter paper.
- Bake this for 6-7 minutes in a preheated oven at 220 degree Celsius. Sprinkle icing sugar on the sponge after it is removed immediately.
- Invert it on another sheet of butter paper and remove the bottom lining. Roll the sponge cake along with the paper and cover it with a foil, leave it to cool.
- Now for the filling, whisk butter until soft, add the sugar and whisk until fluffy. Add the vanilla, cream and the colour. Give it a mix.
- Once the cake is cold, spread the icing on it and roll it. Chill and cut into pieces.
Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For a neater spiral and easier rolling, spread the butter cream filling while the sponge is just slightly warm but not hot; this helps prevent the cake from cracking and ensures smooth, even filling distribution.
- If you'd like a flavor twist, add a thin layer of fruit preserves (such as raspberry or orange marmalade) before spreading the butter cream—this adds a subtle tartness that beautifully balances the sweet and salty notes.
- To achieve sharp, clean slices, chill the rolled Swiss roll in the refrigerator for at least an hour before cutting and use a serrated knife wiped clean between each cut.
- For a decorative finish, dust the outside of the roll with cocoa powder or drizzle with melted dark chocolate just before serving for an elegant presentation that intensifies the chocolate flavor.
