Spring Sponge Swiss Cake Roll

Course Dessert
Cuisine American

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1/2 cup plain flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1.4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt (or pinch of salt)
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/3 cup granulated or monk fruit sugar
  • Filling (Jam or Greek yogurt for healthy version)

Instructions

  • Separate egg whites from yolks. Tip: it's easier to separate eggs cold and straight from the fridge. Then let them warm to room temperature.
  • In a bowl, beat egg yolks and add in sugar. Add water and vanilla.
  • In the same bowl, add flour to make a slightly thick batter.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold in fluffy egg whites.
  • Pour on rectangular baking sheet (Silpat recommended).
  • Level with a spatula or knife. Then bake at 325°F for about 12-15 minutes. Watch closely toward the end. Look for when the cake is set/baked. If thinner, browning on edges can happen quickly after the 12 minute mark.
  • Immediately peel off Silpat-lined pan onto a tea towel.
  • Roll into a spiral log while warm-fresh-out-of-the-oven.
  • Let cool in fridge for 20 or more minutes.
  • Unroll and cut off ends.
  • Add filling of choice (Greek yogurt for healthy) and then roll cake back up.
