Servings
When it comes to serving this scrumptious caramel baked roll cake, the possibilities are endless 😍!
**Imagine this**: Serve the cake with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of fresh berries on the side. The tartness of the berries beautifully balances the sweetness of the caramel.
Or **for a holiday twist** 🎄, decorate your cake with a dusting of powdered sugar and a few mint leaves to resemble a snowy, festive landscape. This not only adds a touch of elegance but also brings out the holiday spirit.
If you’re a coffee lover ☕, pair this cake with a strong espresso for an afternoon delight. The bitterness of the coffee amplifies the richness of the caramel, making each bite more intense and satisfying.
And for those warm summer days 🌞, serve this cake chilled with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The combination of cold ice cream and creamy, caramelized cake layers is truly a match made in heaven.
Equipment
Essential for grating the butter uniformly into the dough, ensuring an even mix.
Use separate bowls for the dough and cream to keep things organized and hygienic.
Ensure it’s dusted with flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
Line with parchment paper for easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
Ideal for achieving a smooth and creamy consistency for the caramel buttercream.
Variations
**Want to make this recipe Gluten-Free** 🌾? Simply substitute the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the flour blend contains xanthan gum or add it separately to help bind the dough.
**For a Vegan version** 🌱, replace the butter in both the dough and the cream with a high-quality vegan butter. As for the egg, you can use a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water). For the cream, use coconut condensed milk instead of caramelized condensed milk.
