45 mins prepServes 8
A delightful Vanilla Swiss Roll topped with summer berries, perfect as a sweet treat. The recipe provides instructions for making the sponge cake, meringue, and cream filling, then assembling and chilling the roll.
1. Preheat oven to 365F. Line an 11x11 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together oil, milk, and vanilla bean paste until well combined. Sift in cake flour and mix well. Add in egg yolks and mix well until there are no flour lumps.
3. In a separate bowl, add in egg whites and lemon juice. Whisk on medium speed. While whisking, gradually add in 50g of sugar. Whisk until medium peak, where the meringue has a slight curve at the end of the tip. In the last minute of whisking, whisk at the lowest speed to get a smooth meringue texture.
4. Fold in the meringue into the yolk batter in 3 additions until well combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-22 minutes. Remove from oven and pan, then let it cool on a cooling rack.
5. Beat the heavy whipping cream and 20g sugar until stiff peak. Once the cake is cooled, flip it over to remove the parchment paper and then flip it back. Apply the cream on top of the cake and roll it up. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Decorate as you wish and enjoy!
