Fluffy Pink Swiss Roll with Cream Cheese Filling

Step-by-step method

At a glance

You're creating a beautiful pink dessert that's surprisingly straightforward—just whisk eggs and sugar until fluffy, add a touch of food coloring for that romantic rosy hue, fold in your dry ingredients carefully, then bake for about 10 minutes. The tricky part is rolling the warm sponge gently without cracking it, followed by a cooling period before spreading on a dreamy cream cheese filling and rolling it up again for a show-stopping finish.

Whisk the eggs with sugar

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Beat the eggs and sugar on high speed in a stand mixer. Once you've whipped them into a firm, fluffy mixture, turn off the mixer and carefully fold in the melted margarine.

In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Gradually and gently fold this into the rest of the mixture in the mixing bowl. Mix until you have a smooth, evenly colored batter.

Prepare the baking tray

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

Sugar-dusted tea towel

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

Roll up the sponge

Turn the baked sponge 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 middle 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 middle will be less pronounced, the roll will be longer, and the slices will be smaller.

Cream cheese filling

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