Contents
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons of butter, melted and cooled
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 2/3 cup of jam or jelly (flavor of your choice)
Instructions:
Making the Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 10- by 15-inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar until light and creamy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the egg mixture in two batches, stirring until fully blended after each addition.
- Stir in the melted butter. Pour into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
Assembling the Swiss Roll:
- Once cooled, run a knife or offset spatula along the edges of the pan to loosen the cake.
- Next, place a sheet of parchment paper on a cutting board and lightly dust with powdered sugar.
- Carefully invert the cake onto the parchment paper and remove the pan.
- Spread the jam or jelly evenly over the cake, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Begin rolling the cake up at one of the short ends, using your hands to help position the parchment paper as you go. Be gentle, otherwise you’ll end up with Swiss crumble (don’t worry – it still tastes good!)
- When fully rolled, trim off the ends and place on a serving plate.
- Finally, sprinkle with powdered sugar for a touch of Swiss flair.
So there you have it – with these steps, you’ll be rolling a delicious Swiss roll in no time! If you’re feeling daring, you can switch up the ingredients and come up with delicious new flavors. Have fun and bon appétit!
