Strawberries & Cream Cake Roll Notes

• Be sure to beat your egg whites long enough to the point that soft peaks begin to form. You’ll want to add your sugar a little at a time while continuing to beat.
• Fold your egg yolks into the mixture instead of mixing them into your batter with a spoon.
• Make sure you have a clean towel ready to use when you wrap this cake up with the jam and cream in the center. Of course, you’ll need to let the cake cool before you begin wrapping it up to avoid burning your fingers on the hot cake.

Cake Roll Variations

• Use different types of jams to create the perfect flavor for your cake roll. For example, if you don’t want to use strawberry jam, you can replace it with raspberry, blackberry, or even blueberry jam.
• If you’d like to add a chocolate touch to your cake roll, you can spread a thin layer of Nutella when adding your cream and jam to it. The chocolate hazelnut spread will go great with the sweet taste of the jam.
• After you’ve rolled the cake, you can drizzle a homemade glaze on top of it. Prepare the glaze by combining heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract. It adds that extra touch to such a simple yet truly enjoyable dessert.

Swiss Roll FAQs

How will I know when the cake is ready to remove from the oven?

The cake needs to be baked for a minimum of 15 minutes and up to 18 minutes. You can check it in the oven and pull it out when it has that rich golden color to it.

Do I have to sprinkle powdered sugar on top?

No, powdered sugar is optional. However, it does add a sweeter touch to the Strawberries & Cream Cake Roll. If you don’t want to use powdered sugar, you can leave it out of this recipe or even create a glaze to add to your cake roll.

Should I trim the edges of the cake roll?

It’s entirely up to you! I like to trim the edges to make the cake roll look even more appealing, but you can leave them.
