Strawberry Roll Cake

Posted August 17th, 2008 in Food No Comments »

Strawberries are on their season and very cheap at supermarkets!  Why not try making this cake with them??  It was very easy and I finished making it in less than 45 minutes.

<Sponge>

• 3 Eggs

• 60g Plain Flour

• 60g Granulated Sugar

* Heat up the oven to 200.

1. Place eggs in a bowl.  Place the bowl over warm water bath, and whisk eggs with hand mixer.  Add sugar gradually and whisk until ribbon stage.
2. Add flour and fold in with spatula.  (Be careful not to mix too much as it will cause the sponge not rising well)
3. Place the mixture carefully into lined oven tray, and bake it for about 10 min.  (Press the sponge with palm lightly and if it bounces back it is cooked.)

< Cream & Syrup >

• 200ml Whipping Cream

• 20g Granulated Sugar

• 5g Gelatin

• 2tbsp Water

• Strawberries

• 25g Granulated Sugar

• 50ml Water

1. Mix gelatin with 2tbsp of water.  Mix 25g Sugar and 50ml Water in a pan and dissolve the sugar.  Let it stand to cool.
2. Once the sponge sheet is cooled down, remove the baking sheet.  Place the sponge on the baking sheet again, and brush the syrup over it.
3. Whip the cream with sugar till soft peak.
4. Soften the gelatin mixture over hot water bath, and add to whipped cream.  Mix it through quickly.
5. Spread the cream on sponge sheet.  Place some cut strawberries on.
6. Roll up as if you are making sushi roll.  Keep in the fridge till set.
