Tri-colours swissroll with strawberry and kiwi filling.
Swiss Roll
(A)
4 egg yolk
25 gm caster sugar
1 tsp ovalette
(B)
4 egg white
40 gm caster sugar
45 gm cake flour
25 gm corn flour
30 ml melted butter
Whisk (A) until fluffy.
Whisk (B) until soft peak, then add (B) to (A).
Fold in sifted cake and corn flour. Mix well. Then add in melted butter to mix well.
Pour mixture onto a lined baking tray. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 190 deg C for abt 15 to 25 mins. When cake is baked, leave it in baking tray for abt 5 mins. Turn cake out onto a piece of greased proof paper and immediately roll up the sponge cake together with the paper. Leave it rolled up to cool for abt 10 mins. After the sponge is cool, unroll it and spread a layer of whipped cream or jam onto the sponge cake and roll it up using paper as a guide (like rolling sushi). Leave sponge cake in fridge to chill before serving.

Wah...this is so delicious and colourful!!! Kudus to you!
hi! i saw the popcorn entry earlier on, i was wondering how do u caramelize the sugar?
im pretty stupid in this area.. heh
frozz, you need to put some sugar in a wok or pot, add a little water to cover the sugar. Let the sugar melt in the pot/wok. Do not stir it at all at this time. If there are sugar that are not covered with the water, swirl the wok/pan to melt it.
When sugar has all melted and starting to turn brown (always use small fire), be careful of the caramel at this stage because it will burn easily. When sugar is all brown and nice, turn off fire and remove wok/pan from stove. At this point it is ok for you to stir your caramel.
Lee, I made yr swissrolls today. It's so soft and yummy.
Thanks for sharing your recipe!

sl, no need to replace flour. Just add some melted chocolate into your mixture and you will get a nice chocolate swiss roll.

Lee, today I tried a swiss roll recipe that doesn't separate the egg white and yolk. But mine's not successful. My swiss roll didn't rise. Any idea what cld have gone wrong? What is meant by cream eggs and sugar till "light and fluffy"?
Hi kwf, you have to make sure the eggs and sugar are beaten well. When it says cream sugar and eggs till light and fluffy it means that you have to beat until the mixture is very pale colour and the mixture is creamy and thick.
LeeLee, thanks so much for this wonderful recipe, it was indeed very very soft. My dh likes it so much and it was finished almost immediately.
May I know what pan size you used for this recipe? I don't have a swissroll pan, so I used an 8" square cake pan, then sliced into half and roll it .., so my swissrolls are small-sized . :D
Hi Kellie, you are most welcome. I used a 10" x 12" pan.
Hi Lee Lee,
I'd tried your swiss roll recipe yesterday. It was my first attempt and I finally made it.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe.
Anyway, I would like to know have I bake it too long (17 mins) cos I find it abit dry.
I used 5 eggs cos my eggs are really small.
And I would like to have your permission to post the recipe on my blog?
thank you again.
Hi my@ddictions, 17 mins shouldn't be too long. If you find it too dry you can actually add 2 to 3 tbsp of milk into the mixture. Of course you can post the recipe if your blog.
Thank you for the advice.
Cheers...
Hi Baking Mum
Wat is an ovalette?
by the way, for all kinds of baking, be it cupcakes, cookies and swiss roll, what temperature should I pre-set? As previously mentioned, my cakes turn out nice brown on the outside but kinda moist on the inside and rather dry. Has it got to do with my pre-set temperature. Pls guide. Am desperate to get the pre-set temperature right.
Many thanks.
Mummy to JJs
Hi Hugbear
I am asking the same Q as Mummy to JJs, what is ovalette and can we omit it ?
Thanks for such marvellous blog.
Half Swede
i am going to try it out one day once i invest in a whisking machine
hi Lee Lee,
I've been trying making swissroll and fails for so many times. I use different recipes, one time with baking powder, and some other time not. I saw ur recipe have the ovallette, yet i will try again. I do have some questions, what is the difference of beating the egg whites+sugar (stiff) and the one you mentioned for swissroll (mixture is very pale colour and the mixture is creamy and thick). There are many times I bake, the cake rised but it turns out to be dry and rough! Sad story.
From, Kim Lee
Hi Kim Lee,
Separating egg yolk and egg white method is to get a softer texture cake. Add a bit of milk if you think it is too dry.
Hihi!
Can I know why must the swiss roll be rolled after take out from oven b4 apply the cream?
Thanks!
Hi Anne, actually it is to help it get the shape of the roll. But some swiss roll no need to do this step. You can just leave it to cool down and apply cream and then roll. The swiss roll also will not crack during rolling.
Hi,
THanks for your prompt reply! Ya, was wondering if that is the case. coz saw some recip which nv mention this...
Will try make yours soon. Was wondering can I use this as the cake for the log cake? hehehe... getting ready for christmas... :)
Hi Anne, of course you can use this to make Christmas logcakes.
Hihi!
I baked the swiss roll using your recipe. It was delicious! However, my hubby find it a bit dry. I just have to add some fresh milk in future rite?
Thanks for the great recipe!
Ya, just add a bit more milk.
How do you make tricolours swiss roll? MH
Just divide the batter into three parts and add two different colours into the two parts. Pour one colour onto the baking pan and followed by the next colour pour it next to the first one and continue doing the same with the three part.
Hi Lee Lee,
I'm a big fan of your blog. I've tried the sponge cake and my family absolutely loves it. Recently, I've tried your swiss rolls as well (twtice), but it has been unsuccessful. My cakes crack into pieces whilst trying to roll. When you say "add (B) to (A)", does it mean using the folding method? or using the electric mixer to whisk it? I presume we fold in the flours and the melted butter? and when you preheat your oven, how long before do you preheat and at what temperature?
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Kristy
Hi Kristy, yes you use the folding in method. Usually about 5 to 7 mins.
