Swiss Roll Recipe
Chocolate Swiss Roll is on my to do list for a long time. Finally I made it for this christmas because i wanted to use this swiss roll to make my yule log cake. I will soon share it.
This swiss roll turned out to be so moist and soft. Loved it to the core. The cake itself is very easy to make and it is a fool proof recipe. You can never go wrong in this.
I have already shared a jam swiss roll
How to Make Chocolate Swiss roll
- Take flour, cocoa powder,salt and baking powder in a sieve and sift well. Set aside.

- Take egg whites in a clean dry bowl and use a electric beater to whip this till it is frothy and forms soft peaks.
- Take egg yolk and sugar in a bowl and whisk till it gets pale yellow and light.
- Add in the sifter flour mix into the egg yolk and mix well.
- Now add in egg white little at a time and fold gently.
- Spoon this into the prepared pan and bake for 6 to 8 mins.
- Remove it from oven and cool for 2 mins.
- Now take a sheet of parchment paper and sprinkle some powdered sugar on top. Invert the swiss roll over the sugar and peel off the parchment paper. Now roll the cake with the parchment paper tightly and carefully and set aside to cool completely.
