Vanilla Swiss Roll with Vanilla Crème Mousseline

 

 

Recently I have less or no time sitting in front of my computer. My little girl hardly takes her morning and even afternoon nap! If happen it will be short one. After settle her down I need to rush for daily house works and preparing meals.  
 
She won't sit still if I'm working on my posts with the computer. She will crawl to me and want to sit on my lap. Then, her little fingers will try to reach keyboard or mouse. It is impossible for me to do my typing with her >.< That's the reason less posting lately... Hope she will get back to her routine nap so I can have my own time.

It has been quite sometimes I baked swiss roll. Quite numbers of readers asking how I roll my swiss roll. This time with the help of my hubby I manage to provide pictures on the rolling process. Hope it is good enough to show steps on rolling.

As for the filling I used vanilla crème mousseline which is basically custard + butter cream. At first prepare the custard which made from eggs, milk, sugar and flour (or cornflour). The mixture is cooked till smooth and creamy before adding to butter cream. I used only half of the cream for my swiss roll. You might use all if you like.

~Vanilla Crème Mousseline filling

 

1. Add yolks and sugar in a bowl. Whisk till well combine. Add in cake flour. Stir to well incorporate. Pour in milk and stir to well combine.

 

2. With a sharp knife spilt vanilla pod into two. Slowly run blade over the pod to get the seeds. Add the seeds together with pod into milk mixture.

 



cooking with double boiler method

 

Make sure cover with cling film if chill in fridge

 

3. Cook the milk mixture on stove at low flame. Do whisk constantly while heating up the mixture. The custard is ready once the mixture turns thick (obvious lines appear on mixture surface as you stir). Discard the pod and leave aside to cool.

 

 

4. While waiting for the custard to cool down, beat butter till light and creamy. Add in the cool custard in 2-3 batches. The filling is ready to be used once all combined.

* You can save the cream inside fridge. Do whisk again to soften the cream to achieve spreading consistency.

~Swiss roll
1. Whisk yolks and castor sugar till well combine. Add in vegetable oil and mix well.

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

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

4. 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.

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

6. Bake in preheated oven at 180C for 15 minutes. Turn the heat to 200C and bake further 3 minutes.
* I'm using steam bake method. Bake by placing a pan with hot water at the bottom of oven.
* I bake further with higher temperature to get brown darker surface. Do adjust according to your oven temperature.

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

8. 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.

9. Hold the cake with both hands with the help of rolling pin 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.

 

This is how I roll wiss roll. After removing the baking paper from the cake reuse it for rolling as well. Recycle ^^  





Make sure the end is facing down while chilling in fridge
