Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes

Nutritional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the filling)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I use a different filling?

Yes! You can substitute the whipped cream with buttercream, fruit preserves, or any other filling of your choice.

How do I prevent the cake from cracking?

Make sure to roll the cake gently while it is still warm. Using parchment paper to lift and roll can also help prevent cracking.

How should I store the Swiss roll?

Store the Chocolate Swiss Roll in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, then add the melted butter and mix until just combined.
  5. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  6. Once baked, immediately invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Remove the parchment paper and roll the cake up in the towel. Allow it to cool completely.
  7. While the cake cools, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
  8. Once the cake has cooled, unroll it and spread the whipped cream filling evenly over the surface. Roll the cake back up gently, without the towel this time.
  9. Wrap the rolled cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Enjoy!

Popcorn chicken with zingy soured cream dip

Put the popcorn, bread or breadcrumbs and paprika in a food processor and blend until finely chopped. Tip into a wide, shallow bowl. Whisk the egg in a second bowl, and mix the flour with some seasoning in a third bowl. Dip the chicken strips first into the seasoned flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the popcorn breadcrumbs – press the crumbs onto the chicken to help them stick. Continue until all the chicken pieces are coated, then chill for 30 mins, or up to 1 day. Mix together the ingredients for the dip in a small bowl. When ready to cook the chicken, heat enough oil to just cover the surface of a large frying pan. Once hot, cook the chicken pieces for 2-3 mins on each side (in batches so you don’t overcrowd the pan) until golden and cooked through. Drain on kitchen paper. Serve warm with the dip on the side.
