Ingredients

Scale

For the Sponge Cake:

  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 100 g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 70 g (1/2 cup) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar

For the Filling:

  • 150 g (1/2 cup) raspberry jam
  • 120 g (1/2 cup) white chocolate, melted
  • 200 ml (3/4 cup) heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

For Garnish:

  • Fresh raspberries
  • White chocolate shavings
  • Powdered sugar


Instructions

  • Prepare the Cake:
    • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
    • In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks with half of the sugar (50 g) until pale and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
    • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining sugar (50 g) and beat until stiff peaks form.
    • Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the batter.
    • Sift the flour and salt over the mixture, folding gently until just combined.
    • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched lightly.
  • Roll the Cake:
    • While the cake is baking, place a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and dust it generously with powdered sugar.
    • When the cake is done, immediately invert it onto the prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
    • Roll the cake tightly (with the towel) starting from the short end. Let it cool completely while rolled.
  • Prepare the Filling:
    • Melt the white chocolate and let it cool slightly.
    • In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the melted white chocolate.
  • Assemble the Cake Roll:
    • Unroll the cooled cake carefully. Spread a thin layer of raspberry jam over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
    • Spread the white chocolate cream evenly over the jam.
    • Re-roll the cake (without the towel), ensuring it’s tight but not too firm to avoid squeezing out the filling.
  • Chill and Garnish:
    • Wrap the cake roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
    • Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar, decorate with fresh raspberries and white chocolate shavings.

Notes

  • For easier rolling, don’t overbake the cake to ensure it stays pliable.
  • You can replace raspberry jam with fresh raspberry puree for a more natural flavor.
  • Store the cake roll in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
