How to make Rolled Cake Filled with Coffee Cream and Walnuts
To prepare the rolled cake
- Step 1
Combine the eggs, sugar, vanilla essence, salt, and honey in a bowl. Beat until you achieve a light yellow cream.
- Step 2
Gradually sift the flour into the mixture and gently fold it in using a rubber spatula with soft, circular motions.
- Step 3
Spread the batter onto a 30 x 40 cm baking tray lined with parchment paper that has been greased and lightly floured.
- Step 4
Smooth the surface of the batter with a spatula.
- Step 5
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 10 minutes, until the sponge is cooked but not overly browned.
- Step 6
While the cake is still warm, carefully remove it from the tray and roll it up using the parchment paper. Allow it to cool completely while rolled to prevent cracking.
To prepare the coffee cream
- Step 1
Begin whipping the heavy cream in a bowl. When it reaches a semi-whipped consistency, add the sugar and instant coffee powder.
- Step 2
Continue whipping until you achieve a firm, Chantilly-style cream.
To prepare the syrup
- Step 1
In a small saucepan, dissolve the sugar in the water. Heat over low heat for about 4 minutes.
- Step 2
Remove from heat and set aside.
Assembling the rolled cake
- Step 1
Carefully unroll the cooled cake and remove the parchment paper.
- Step 2
Brush the cake with the syrup to moisten it. Spread the coffee cream evenly over the surface. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts on top of the cream.
- Step 3
Roll the cake back up carefully and place it on a serving platter.
Presentation
- Step 1
Generously dust the rolled cake with powdered sugar.
- Step 2
Decorate with melted chocolate for an elegant finish.

Can I substitute walnuts with another nut?
Yes, you can use pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts as alternatives to walnuts.
