Ingredients
Ingredients:
Sponge:
- 5 eggs
- 100g flour
- 100g sugar
- 50g vegetable oil
- 100g milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Cream (enough for filling, make more for decoration):
- 50g mascarpone
- 250g whipping cream
- 30g sugar
OR
- 300g whipping cream
- 30g sugar
- Strawberries for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C
- separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.
- whip the egg whites, when it starts foaming up, we’re going to gradually add in the sugar and mix until we get to soft peak consistency
- prepare the egg yolk mixture: add in the oil, milk and vanilla extract. Mix it until it’s well combined
- Add in the flour into the yolk mixture and mix until you get a smooth batter
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites and egg yolk mixture together. Try not to over mix and deflate the air that we’ve incorporated
- Pour the batter into a 11” square pan, lined with baking paper
- Bake in the preheated oven at 170 degrees celcius for 30 minutes
- Prepare the whipped cream: start by mixing the mascarpone cheese with some sugar until it’s smooth
- Add in your whipping cream. Mix it until it starts forming soft peaks then refrigerate
- Once the sponge is ready, take it out of the oven, leave the sponge to rest upside down. remove the baking paper
- While the sponge is still warm gently roll it so that it’s easier to roll with the cream later on and to avoid the surface from cracking
- Cut the sides: for the sides that are going to touch each other, I like to cut one of the sides at a 45 degrees angle to that it overlaps nicely
- Once the sponge has cooled completely, spread the whipped cream onto the surface of the sponge
- Place the sponge on top of a baking paper sheet and roll it as tightly as possible
- Refrigerate for at least an hour so that the roll can set. Once ready, slice and decorate
Enjoy!
