Main Ingredients for Red Swiss Roll:

Red Swiss Roll


For the Cake:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup liquid milk
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon liquid vanilla (powdered vanilla can be used if not available)
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg

For the Filling:

  • 200 grams soft cream cheese
  • 100 grams melted white chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon liquid vanilla
  • 2 cups sliced strawberries
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar (for strawberries)

Preparation Method for Red Swiss Roll:

  1. Prepare the Baking Pan: Take a shallow baking pan and line it with aluminum foil, ensuring all sides are covered. Set aside for later use.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. In a small bowl, mix the milk, vinegar, red food coloring, and vanilla, stirring to combine.

  3. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, beat together the melted butter and powdered sugar on medium speed for about 7 minutes until you have a smooth, light yellow mixture. Add the egg and mix until incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients and the milk mixture, mixing on medium speed for about 2 minutes until you have a smooth batter.

  4. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake for about 12-15 minutes until the cake is fully cooked.

  5. Cool the Cake: Remove the cake from the oven and immediately cover it with a piece of aluminum foil (this step helps create steam, keeping the cake moist and easy to roll). Let it cool completely.

  6. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the soft cream cheese, melted white chocolate, melted butter, powdered sugar, liquid vanilla, and mix until you have a smooth cream.

  7. Assemble the Roll: Take a piece of parchment paper slightly larger than the cake and place it on a flat surface. Flip the cooled cake onto the parchment paper. Spread the cream mixture over two-thirds of the cake lengthwise, then arrange the sliced strawberries over the filling.

  8. Roll the Cake: Holding the edge of the parchment paper, start rolling the cake tightly into a Swiss roll shape, continuing until fully rolled. Wrap it in parchment paper and refrigerate for several hours or preferably overnight to allow it to set properly.

  9. Serve: When ready to serve, remove the Swiss roll from the refrigerator and slice it. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Enjoy your delicious red Swiss roll!
