Step 1

Prepare the Cake Batter

Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F).

In a large mixing bowl, beat 5 large eggs with 120 grams (1/2 cup) sugar, 1 pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whip this mixture until it becomes fluffy and tripled in volume.

Next, reduce the speed to low and gradually sift in 120 grams (1 cup) all-purpose flour while gently folding it into the egg mixture to maintain the volume.

Carefully spread the batter onto a lined baking sheet, smoothing it into an even layer for perfect results.

Step 2

Bake the Cake

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes.

Keep an eye on it as baking times can vary—you're looking for a light golden color on the top.

Once baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the pan.

Step 3

Make the Cream Filling

While the cake is cooling, prepare the cream filling. In a bowl, combine 140 grams (5 ounces) of cream cheese and 50 grams (1/4 cup) powdered sugar.

Mix these ingredients until smooth and creamy.

Gradually fold in 200 ml (3/4 cup) of cold heavy cream, increasing the mixer speed until the mixture holds strong peaks. The filling should be thick and spreadable.

Step 4

Assemble the Cake Roll

Once the cake has completely cooled, flip it onto a clean kitchen towel or parchment paper sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Spread the cream filling evenly across the cake, leaving a small border around the edges.

Roll the cake tightly, using the towel to help you. After rolling, cover it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about an hour to set.

Step 5

Decorate and Serve

Before serving, you can decorate with your choice of jam, fruits, or berries on top.

Optionally, sprinkle sliced almonds for an elegant touch.

Slice and serve your delightful spring cake roll to your family and friends. Enjoy every bite of this deliciously sweet treat!

Variations

Gluten-Free Option: To make this cake gluten-free, simply substitute the regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. It'll still be fluffy and delicious! 🌾🚫 Vegan Alternative: For a plant-based twist, replace the eggs with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce per egg and use a dairy-free cream cheese for the frosting. Your loved ones won’t even realize it’s vegan! 🌱💚

Faq

  • What if my cake doesn't rise properly?

    If your cake doesn't rise, it's possible that your eggs weren't beaten enough or your baking soda is expired. Make sure you whip the eggs till fluffy and check your ingredients' freshness.

  • How long do I need to let the cake cool?

    Let the cake cool for at least 10-15 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.

  • How can I make my frosting thicker?

    If you want a thicker frosting, add more powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency. Be careful not to add too much at once!

  • Can I add flavors to the frosting?

    Absolutely! You can mix in a teaspoon of vanilla extract, lemon zest, or even cocoa powder for a fun twist.

  • Why is my cake dense instead of fluffy?

    Dense cakes can result from overmixing or not incorporating enough air into the egg mixture. Be gentle when folding in the flour!

  • How do I store leftovers?

    Store any leftover cake in an airtight container in the fridge. It’s best enjoyed within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
