Description

A festive and delicious rolled sponge cake filled with a luscious raspberry swirl and creamy filling, perfect for holiday gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup (90g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup (250g) raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for raspberry filling)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, full-fat
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, whipped
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 4 eggs with 3/4 cup (150g) sugar until pale and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
  3. Gently fold in 3/4 cup (90g) sifted flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched. Do not overbake.
  5. While the cake is warm, turn it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment and roll the cake gently with the towel. Let it cool completely.
  6. In a saucepan, cook 1 cup (250g) raspberries with 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice until thickened. Let it cool.
  7. Beat 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese with 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in 1 cup (240ml) whipped heavy cream.
  8. Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the cream filling evenly. Add dollops of raspberry filling and gently roll the cake back up.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves, if desired.

Notes

Roll the cake while it’s warm to prevent cracking. If cracks occur, they can be hidden with filling and powdered sugar. The roll can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the fridge or frozen for up to a month.
