Ingredients

For the Roll

4 large eggs
100 grams (3.5 ounces) granulated sugar
100 grams (3.5 ounces) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
a pinch of salt

For the Marshmallow Filling

2 large egg whites
200 grams (7 ounces) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (120 ml) water
1 package (7 grams) gelatin powder

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Roll

Begin by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

In a large bowl, beat together eggs and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to create a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix.

Spread the batter evenly onto a lined baking sheet and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes or until golden.

Step 2

Make the Marmalade

In a saucepan, combine cranberries, raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water.

Cook on medium heat, stirring frequently, until the fruits break down and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.

Once ready, remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

Step 3

Prepare the Marshmallow Filling

In a medium saucepan, combine water and sugar; bring to a gentle boil.

Simultaneously, whisk the egg whites in another bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually pour in the hot sugar syrup while continuing to whisk.

Finally, sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of water, let it bloom, then mix it into the marshmallow mixture until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Assemble the Roll

Once the cake base is cooled, carefully spread the marmalade over the surface.

Top with a layer of the marshmallow filling, leaving a small border around the edges.

Starting from one side, gently roll up the cake to form a log shape. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing.

Enjoy your delightful and sweet cranberry raspberry roll!

Variations

If you’re looking to switch things up, we have exciting variations just for you! For a gluten-free option, simply replace regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend, ensuring it includes xanthan gum for better texture. Your guests will never know the difference! 🌾🚫

For those following a vegan diet, you can easily substitute eggs in the marshmallow recipe for aquafaba (the liquid from chickpeas), which whips up beautifully and provides that light, fluffy texture we all love. Additionally, swap out any dairy products for almond or coconut milk to keep it welcoming for everyone! 🌿💚

Faq

  • Q: What if my marshmallow doesn't whip up properly?

    A: Ensure that your mixing bowl and whisk are completely clean and free from any grease. Also, use room temperature aquafaba or egg whites for the best results!

  • Q: Can I make the roll in advance?

    A: Yes! You can prepare the roll a day ahead, but avoid adding the marshmallow until just before you serve to maintain its fluffiness.

  • Q: What's the ideal way to store leftovers?

    A: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. It can also be frozen, but keep in mind that the texture may change slightly once thawed.

  • Q: How can I enhance the flavor of the jam?

    A: Consider adding a splash of lemon juice or a hint of cinnamon to your jam for a unique flavor profile!

  • Q: Can I use other fruit jams instead of cranberry-raspberry?

    A: Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with your favorite fruits—strawberry, blueberry, or mixed berry jams would be delicious too.

  • Q: What’s the best way to roll the dough for this recipe?

    A: Gently roll from one end to another, being careful not to stretch the dough too tightly. This will help keep the filling secure while allowing it to rise evenly!
