Swiss Jelly Roll Recipes

JELLY ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan with parchment paper.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and milk. Stir in the dry ingredients gradually. The batter will be thin. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until the center springs back when pressed lightly. Don't over bake, or it may crack.
• Generously dust a clean dish towel with confectioners' sugar. Turn the cake out onto the towel, and peel off the parchment paper. Gently roll up the cake using the towel, and let cool for about 10 minutes.
• Unroll the cake, and spread an even coating of jam onto the top. Roll the cake back up into a tight spiral, and remove the towel. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

SWISS ROLL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and line a 16 x 28cm Swiss roll tin with baking parchment.
• Beat the eggs and sugar together for 5 mins with an electric hand whisk until thick and pale. Gently fold in the flour in two batches using a large metal spoon. Pour the mixture into the tin and gently ease into the corners. Bake for 10-12 mins until golden and firm. Be careful not to overbake, or the sponge will break when rolled.
• While the sponge is baking, sprinkle 2 tbsp sugar over a square of baking parchment. Warm the jam in the microwave for 20 secs.
• Turn the baked sponge onto the sugared paper. Peel off the lining paper and spread the sponge with the warm jam. Roll up from the short edge using the paper to help you then cool on a wire rack.

SWISS JELLY ROLL

Steps:

• Set oven to 340 fan/375 and line the bottom of a 9x13 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
• Whip egg whites with two tbsp of sugar and cream of tartar until medium peaks form.
• Whip egg yolks with remaining sugar and seeds from vanilla bean until yolks have doubled in volume.
• Sift half of dry ingredients into yolk mixture and whisk to combine.
• Add half of egg whites and whisk only until combined.
• Sift remaining dry ingredients into mixture and whisk to combine.
• Add remaining egg whites and fold in gently with a scraper until the egg whites are combined.
• Pour into pan and spread evenly, smoothing the top as much as possible to ensure even baking.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until sponge bounces back when pressed in the middle.
• Remove from oven and use an offset knife to loosen the roll from the edges of the pan.
• Dust with icing sugar amd turn out onto a clean tea towel. Remove the parchment paper and dust with icing sugar.
• While still warm from the oven, roll the sponge and allow to cool before unrolling. This will allow the sponge to reroll later without cracking.
• Unroll, add your favourite jam and/or cream filling and reroll. Cut the ends square and dust with icing sugar.

SWISS ROLL

Steps:

• Despite appearances, Swiss rolls are in fact very simple to make. The cake itself has no butter in it, so you can feel justified in spreading it with lashings of jam and whipped cream. Use any kind of jam you like; apricot or blackberry, for instance, would do just as well as raspberry or strawberry.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Line the base of a 10 by 15-inches Swiss roll or jelly roll pan with greaseproof or parchment paper. Brush the base and sides of the pan with melted butter, and dust with flour.
• In a large bowl or in an electric food mixer, whisk the eggs, and sugar together, until light and fluffy, and then add the water, and vanilla extract.
• Sift in the flour, about a third at a time, and using a large metal spoon, fold it into the egg mixture.
• Pour the mixture gently into the prepared pan, and bake in the oven until the center of the cake is slightly springy and the edges have shrunk a little from the sides of the tin, about 12 to 15 minutes.
• Spread out a piece of parchment paper (slightly larger than the tin in size) on a work surface and sprinkle evenly with caster sugar (this stops the roll from sticking to the paper). Turn or invert the pan onto the sugared parchment paper, and then carefully remove the tin and parchment paper from the bottom of the cake.
• Place a slightly damp, clean tea or kitchen towel over the cake while it cools- this will prevent it from drying out and cracking when you roll it.
• When the cake is cool, spread the jam sparingly over the cake, leaving a 1-inch border. Repeat with the whipped cream. With the longest side facing you, roll up the Swiss roll away from you, then transfer to a plate to serve. Sprinkle the cake with caster sugar or dust with icing sugar to finish.
