Moist Fluffy Roll Cake
- 3 large Eggs
- 40 grams White flour
- 60 grams Sugar
- 1 tbsp Water
- 2 Egg yolks
- 30 grams Sugar
- 1 tbsp Gelatin
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- Leave out the eggs at room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 180C (350F).
- Line the pan with baking paper.
- Soak the gelatin and set aside.
- Sift the white flour 2 to 3 times.
- Add eggs and sugar in a bowl and put on a water bath at about 60C (140F).
- Whisk with an electric hand mixer at high speed.
- Check the temperature of the egg mixture and when it's 36C (97F) (it should feel a little warm when you touch), remove from the warm water bath and continue to whisk at high speed.
- After the mixture starts to thicken (about 5 minutes after the warm water bath) reduce the speed and whisk slowly for about 3 minutes.
- Whisk until the batter looks like the photo.
- It looks glossier than when you whisked at high speed.
- It may be a bit difficult to see in the photo.
- Change to a whisk at this point.
- Add 1 tablespoon of water and whisk gently.
- By adding water, the flour will blend in easily.
- Add the prepared flour in at one time and whisk about 40 times until glossy and thick.
- Pour in the batter from above into the pan and smooth the surface with a dough scraper.
- Bake in oven at 180C (350F) for 12 minutes.
- Once baked, remove the pan from the oven.
- Place the pan on the cooling rack about 20 cm high to prevent shrinking.
- Peel off the baking paper, tightly wrap the cake with plastic wrap and lay on a cooling rack.
- Put the cake and cooling rack into a large plastic bag and cool down completely.
- Meanwhile, make the cream filling.
- Whip the heavy cream until it's thickened (i.e.
- until you see a small amount of tracks on surface when whisk is lifted).
- Cut the fruit and set aside.
- Using the same electric hand mixer, mix the egg yolks and sugar while warming in a water bath until they whiten and thicken.
- Warm the soaked gelatin on a water bath or in the microwave.
- Do not let it boil!
- It will become clumpy if you let it boil.
- Add to the mixture from step 15 and mix.
- Combine and blend the mixture from step 14 and 16 together.
- The cream filling is done.
- Once the sponge cake has cooled, slice off the edge at the far end diagonally to let the edges stick more nicely.
- Spread the cream on the baked side of the sponge.
- Put more cream towards the close end and less cream towards the far end.
- Arrange your fruits of choice and roll.
- Place the rolled sponge cake with the edges faced down.
- Wrap with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least an hour.
- After chilling, slice the roll cake with a warmed knife.
- If you warm your knife and clean it every time, you can slice it very nicely.
