How to make Easy Coffee Swiss Roll

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 170°C (338°F).

  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and castor sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. Add the vanilla essence and coffee emulco to the egg mixture and mix well.

  4. Sift in all-purpose flour and gently fold it into the mixture using a spatula. Avoid stirring vigorously to keep the batter airy.

  5. Pour the batter onto a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven at a slightly lower temperature than 180°C—around 170°C—for 12–15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched lightly.

  7. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two.

  8. Carefully roll the warm cake with your desired filling (e.g., whipped cream, coffee cream, or chocolate ganache) in the center.

  9. Wrap the rolled cake in parchment paper or cling film and let it chill for about 2 hours, or until set.

  10. Unroll gently, slice, and serve.

FAQS

  1. What is coffee emulco?

    Coffee emulco is a concentrated coffee flavoring used in baking and desserts to enhance the coffee taste.

  2. Can I use regular sugar instead of castor sugar?

    Castor sugar is recommended for its fine texture, which dissolves more easily. However, you can use regular sugar if you grind it to a finer consistency.

  3. How do I prevent the swiss roll from cracking?

    Avoid overbaking the cake and roll it while it's still warm. This makes it more pliable and less likely to crack.

  4. What kind of filling can I use for the swiss roll?

    You can use whipped cream, buttercream, chocolate ganache, or any other filling of your choice. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.

  5. How long can I store the coffee swiss roll?

    You can store the coffee swiss roll in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep it in an airtight container to maintain its freshness.
