Fluffy Pink Swiss Roll with Cottage Cheese Cream

Step-by-step method

At a glance

You're whisking eggs into a fluffy, rose-coloured sponge, baking it briefly, and then rolling it up—first with a tea towel, then again with a creamy cottage cheese filling. The key is not to overbake the sponge so it stays tender enough to roll without cracking, and letting everything cool properly before the final chill and serve.

Whisk the eggs with sugar

Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a stand mixer, whisk the eggs with the sugar on high speed until you get a firm, fluffy mixture. Turn off the mixer and gently fold in the melted margarine.

Prepare the baking tray

Prepare a baking tray about 40 x 25 cm in size. Line it with baking paper, which you can lightly grease with margarine. Pour the batter onto it, smooth it out, and bake in the preheated oven.

Sugared tea towel

Bake for 10–12 minutes. Don't overbake the sponge, or it will crack when you try to roll it up. While the sponge is baking, prepare a clean tea towel. Sprinkle it with icing sugar and spread it evenly over the whole towel.

Roll up the sponge

Turn the baked sponge sheet out onto the tea towel, peel off the baking paper, and roll the sponge up together with the towel. You have two options for how to do this.

Tip: rolling from the short side

You can start rolling from the short side. The roll will be shorter, the spiral that forms in the centre will be tighter, and the slices you cut will be bigger.
8/10

Tip: rolling from the long side

If you start rolling from the long side, the spiral in the centre will be less pronounced, the roll will be longer, and the slices will be smaller.

Cream filling

Let the rolled-up sponge cool completely, then make the cream. Put the cottage cheese, sugar, vanilla and cream into a mixer bowl and whisk with a whisk attachment. Whip for about three minutes, until the cream thickens.
