Dream Roll
A fluffy, delicate roll filled with sweet goodness, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the Cake
- 4 large large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Filling
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- fresh berries or chocolate chips Optional for flair.
For the Garnish
- extra powdered sugar for dusting.
- fresh fruit or chocolate drizzle for presentation.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 15×10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip together eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy—about 5-7 minutes.
- Gently fold in flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
Baking
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the top springs back when touched.
Filling and Assembly
- While the cake is baking, dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar.
- Once the cake is done, flip it out onto the towel immediately and peel off the parchment paper. Roll the cake up using the towel and let it cool for about 30 minutes.
- In a bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Once the cake is cool, unroll it carefully. Spread the whipped cream filling evenly over the cake and add fresh berries or chocolate chips.
- Gently roll the cake back up without the towel this time, placing it seam-side down on a serving platter.
- Dust the top with powdered sugar and add any extra toppings you desire.
Notes
Make the Dream Roll ahead by wrapping it in plastic wrap and keeping it in the fridge for a day. Switch up the filling with options like Nutella or mascarpone cheese. If the roll cracks, it's part of its charm, and you can cover it with extra cream.
