A soft, airy, and creamy Vanilla Swiss Roll Cake that is perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (chilled)
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Chocolate shavings or squares for garnish
  • Gold candy balls or decorations
  • Optional: cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick, pale, and tripled in volume (about 6–8 minutes). Add vanilla.
  3. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together. Gently fold into egg mixture until just combined.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake 10–12 minutes until lightly golden and springy.
  5. Remove from oven. While warm, flip onto a clean towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off parchment, then gently roll up with the towel. Cool completely.
  6. Beat chilled cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  7. Unroll cake, spread cream inside, then roll up tightly. Frost the outside with remaining cream. Decorate with chocolate pieces, gold accents, and a dusting of cocoa powder.

Notes

  • Don’t overbake the sponge or it may crack when rolling.
  • Roll while warm to maintain shape.
  • For a festive twist, flavor the cream with orange zest or rose water.
  • Use plant-based cream and egg substitute for a dairy-free version.
