Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whip together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is fluffy and pale in color.
  • Gradually fold in the flour until fully incorporated, taking care not to overmix.
  • Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly to create a thin layer. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.
  • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully lift the cake using the parchment paper and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While the cake cools, prepare the cream cheese filling by beating the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. If desired, you can add vanilla extract for extra flavor.
  • If you're using fresh strawberries, slice them now. If using jam, set it aside.
  • Once the cake is cooled, gently unroll it and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface.
  • Sprinkle the sliced strawberries (or spread the jam) on top of the cream cheese filling.
  • Carefully roll the cake back up, starting from one edge, and wrap it tightly. Place the rolled cake seam-side down on a serving platter.
  • Refrigerate the Swiss roll for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
  • When preparing your Strawberry and Cream Cheese Swiss Roll, keep a few tips in mind. Make sure the cake is completely cooled before unrolling it to prevent cracking. Additionally, using fresh strawberries is essential for the best flavor and texture in this dessert. Be gentle when rolling to maintain the cake's structure, and don't hesitate to dust the finished product with powdered sugar for an elegant presentation. For added texture, consider incorporating crushed graham crackers or nuts into the filling, elevating your dessert to new delicious heights!
