Chocolate Swiss Roll with Whipped Cream/ Chiffon Cake Method

Pin It Now!

This is the first time I bake Swiss roll with Carol recipe. The result is very great! My hubby gives very good ranking for it :) I find that the cake is flexible when come to rolling stage. I'm wondering is it due to the rice flour?  


This time I use steam bake method. I bake the cake at the middle rack with a pan of hot water at the bottom of oven. By doing this the cake can stay moist. I know this tip from YouTube. It really makes the difference!

For Swiss roll lovers this recipe definitely worth to try!
Adapted and slightly modified from Carol's green tea Swiss roll
Ingredient:
(A)
4 yolks
20g castor sugar
30g vegetable oil
40g milk
50g cake flour
20g rice flour
1 tbsp cocoa powder
 
(B)
4 whites
1 tsp lemon juice
50g castor sugar
 
 

~Filling
Whipped cream


Method:
1. Whisk yolks and castor sugar till well combine.

2. Add in vegetable oil and mix well.

3. Whisk in the sifted flour and milk in 2 batches alternatively.

4. In other bowl beat the whites till foamy. Add in 1/2 the castor sugar and lemon juice. Continue beat till glossy. Add in the rest of castor sugar. Beat till stiff form.

5. Spoon 1/3 of the stiff whites into yolks batter. Fold to combine. Pour the yolk mixture into the remaining whites bowl. Fold till well combine.

6. Pour the batter into lined Swiss roll pan (I'm using 30cm x 36cm). Smooth the surface with scraper. Give the pan some tap to remove big bubbles.

7. Bake in preheated oven at 180C for 14-15 minutes.
* I'm using steam bake method. Bake by placing a pan with hot water at the bottom of oven.

8. Once cooked, transfer the cake by lifting the baking paper (edges) to wire rack. Leave to cool (about 5 minutes).

9. Invert the cake and gently remove the baking paper. With a knife cut 2 lines (at the beginning of rolling point) but the cake is still attached to each other. Spread the filling evenly on the surface. Leave 1-2cm remain unspread.

10. Hold the cake with both hands and roll gently. When the swiss roll is rolled up, make sure the ending portion facing downward. Keep the roll in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cut and serve.

  2. Hi

    Sorry but I don't understand instruction no.9 - "with a knife cut...but the cake is still attached to each other". What do you mean by attached to each other. Your swiss roll looks perfect.

    Thanks

  3. Joceline,
    Thanks!

    Amanda,
    The lines can help the rolling process. Please refer to my early swiss roll post for the photos. Hope this will help.

    1. I'm using whipping cream from box so just whip till soft peak and spread on Swiss roll. Do refer to my other Swiss roll posts for other type of filling eg custard base and buttercream. Hope you can find your favourite filling. Happy baking!

  11. Hi Vivian,
    I tried this recipe and it turned out very well w no cracks. However, my skin is wrinkled. any advice how make it smooth like yours? Thanks so much for sharing this recipe..=)

    1. What actually cause wrinkles? Is it due to after cooling down? (rise well inside oven with no cracks but shrink once remove from oven or cool). If so maybe the temperatures is too high. Rise too fast will cause shrinkage. Try to bake at lower temperature and see is it help.

  12. I have tried out your banana chiffon roll. However, I broke one of the egg yolks, (real jinxed ler), thus, I beat all eggs together. After baked at 200 Celcius, I removed from the tray, used the tray to cover the sponge, skipped the wet tea towel steps (no memories), used silicone paper to roll, results, cracked roll, however, this time got face already, but crack, taste and texture, 一流! Why crack? mana sudah salah, should I use wet tea towel before silicone paper?

    1. Did you use steam baked? With this recipe and steam baked method I can easily roll up with baking paper. Could it be too high temperature or cook too long? Hope you try again and see how. I'm sure you can get pretty rolls after you master the rolling skills.

    2. ya, I steamed baked, but more than 12 mins, about 15 mins, becos I see the face did not turn brown. Anyway, I have tried another blogger's durian rolls, this time I use 190 Celcius, result? fantastic, I can roll it on tea towel, I did not use silicone paper at all.

      Thank you very much for sharing the knowledge with me. I have been asking around, with my friend, who is baking and selling cakes to supermarts (she told she she does not know how to tell me), hehehe, you know what I mean la, I asked bakery supplies boss, she suggest I pay RM60.00 for 3 recipes swiss roll lessons, sigh... nowadays, people are very profit oriented... luckily I have a blogger friend like you! A big thank you again!

  14. I have baked again last night, this time, I use a high rack, put two small tin of water underneath it, at 190 celcius for 11 min, results, fantastic, no crack. However, the next morning, when I took out from the fridge, the cling film stucked to its face!

    1. It seems the surface not fully bake. Suggest to bake further maybe 3-5 minutes more?

  15. I baked several swiss rolls, filling them either with toffee + banana + whipped cream or with fruit jelly + whipped cream. However, they always come out a bit on the dry side. Last time I even spooned some grape juice over the sponge before rolling, and it still went dry in a matter of hours. I bake for my coffee shop, so the roll would stay in chilled cabinet without the air-tight protection. Any suggestions how to keep the roll sponge moist?
    Thanks

  17. So I don't need a mixer? My gma used to make this for my mom, every year, on her b-day. She passed away 8 or so years ago. I'm hoping to surprise her with her favorite childhood memory:-) Keeping my fingers crossedxxx Hopefully mine will turn out 1/2 as good as yours:)

  23. And another question. Alex Goh said that about japanese coton roll:

    "Tips: if the egg white is over-whipped, the cake will rise up very high and collapse, thus, causing the cake to become compact.".

    You said that the white egg must form stiff.

    Did you try the tips of Goh?

    thanks

    Teo

  24. I'm not sure about the tip given by Alex Goh. With this method and oven temperature (my oven) I used, I manage to get nice roll.

  25. Hi Vivian, i followed your recipe and it turned out great!! I find it easier to roll the cake in fact. Oven steam bake really did make a big difference compare to pure oven bake. Really appreciate your recipe sharing. Thank you :)

  26. Why do you use rice flour and not corn flour?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The recipe I follow, Carol is using rice flour. Substitute with part of rice flour make this Swiss roll easy to be rolled. However you can use all cake flour if you can't find.

    Hi Vivian
    In your posting, the Ingredient section under (A), has a 1 tablespoon cocoa powder. But it was not mentioned when and where to incorporate it in the Method section. Please enlighten. Thanks.
