Variations

Gluten-Free and Vegan Variations

Yes, you can still enjoy these delightful rolls even with dietary restrictions! 🌱💚

Gluten-Free Variation:

Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Double-check your baking powder to ensure it's gluten-free as well.

Vegan Variation:

Replace the egg yolks and egg whites with aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas). For the cream, use dairy-free cream cheese, coconut cream instead of heavy cream, and a vegan berry yogurt. Ensure your sugar is vegan-friendly!

Faq

  • What if I don't have an electric mixer?

    You can use a whisk, but it will take longer to achieve stiff peaks for the egg whites. Arm workout bonus! 💪

  • Can I use other types of berries?

    Absolutely! This recipe works well with raspberries, blueberries, and even mixed berries. Experiment with your favorite combinations.

  • How do I prevent the cake from cracking when rolling?

    Make sure your cake is completely cooled before you start rolling. Rolling the cake slowly and gently also helps a lot.

  • Can I make these rolls ahead of time?

    The rolls can be made a day in advance. Just be sure to store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They'll stay fresh and delicious!

  • How can I make the cream more stable?

    Adding a teaspoon of cornstarch to the cream mixture can help it hold its shape better, especially if you plan to make these for an outdoor event.

  • What’s the best way to cut the rolls neatly?

    Use a sharp knife and clean it between each slice. This will keep the presentation tidy and professional-looking.
