This strawberry cream swiss roll is the ultimate summer treat! It’s airy, delicious, and full of whipped cream. Making a swiss roll at home is way easier than what you may think!
We are flying to the west coast! To be specific, we are flying to Sacramento.
Yes, we are done with our wonderful trip around the east coat and I’ve got to say that we had a wonderful time, seeing all the beautiful cities such as Asheville, Savannah, Washington D.C, etc. And so much good food! I mean yeah nothing beats homemade food but once you are travelling, finding good food is a must! The barbecue in southern states, oh my, I can’t even put it into words!
Now we are flying from Philadelphia to Sacramento. I am attending a conference there (IFBC 2017) and I’m so excited. I attended IFBC 2016 last year which was incredibly fortunate timing, as I had recently started blogging and all the talks were very helpful. I learned so much in just two days! I bet this year it’s going to be even better as my blog is almost one year old (yay!) and I have “some” experience. I know I’ve said it before, but the bogging community is one of the best communities I’ve worked with, and I’ve worked with a lot of communities.
As I am writing this post, we are flying across the US and as it’s a sunny day, I can see all the beautiful, fluffy clouds floating in the sky, and the scene they make with all the green fields and lakes is just dreamy. So much beauty in this world, if us humans would actually let it be.
So here we are with another Yum of the Month recipe! I’ve told you already that a group of my blogger friends and I choose a theme every month and make a delicious treat with that theme. This month, it’s swiss roll that we are going to work on. For some, making swiss roll might be a bit intimidating: “What if it cracks?” “What if the filling is not good?” “What if it’s dry?”.
Practice. It may crack once, twice or three times, but then it won’t. Now, if you don’t want it to crack even once, then please keep reading the post.
You’ve got to be quick. Have everything ready (including the second parchment paper and kitchen towel) before taking the cake out of the oven. When you flip the cake, quickly roll it and wrap it in a kitchen towel. And let me tell you something: worst case, if it cracks, just cover it with powdered sugar or whipped cream. Trust me, it will still taste as good!
The recipe I have here for strawberry cream swiss roll gives a thinner roll than other recipes and is also for a smaller size baking sheet (9X13 inch – mine has quite tall edges, though). If you have a bigger baking sheet, then increase the amount of ingredients by one and a half times. I also served the strawberries on the side as I wanted them fresh and crunchy, but you can totally dice them and mix them with whipped cream.
This strawberry cream swiss roll is just so easy anyone can make it. and you know what? Maybe drizzle some chocolate on it because chocolate makes everything better!
