Ingredients

For the Sponge Cake:

• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (optional for extra fluffiness)

For the Caramel Cream Filling:

• 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
• 3 tablespoons caramel sauce
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (for a salted caramel twist)

For the Decoration:

• Whipped cream (piped into rosettes or swirls)
• Caramel drizzle
• Caramelized nuts or candied fruits
• Dusting of cocoa powder or cinnamon

Instructions

1. Bake the Sponge Cake

1. Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
2. Whip the Eggs and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy (about 5–7 minutes). Add the vanilla extract.
3. Sift and Fold: Sift the flour, cornstarch, baking powder (if using), and salt into the egg mixture. Gently fold until just combined.
4. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched.
5. Cool and Roll: Turn the warm cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Roll it up (including the towel) and let it cool completely.

2. Prepare the Caramel Cream Filling

1. Whip the Cream: Beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
2. Add Caramel Sauce: Fold in the caramel sauce and salt (if making salted caramel filling). Mix until smooth and fluffy.

3. Assemble the Roll

1. Unroll the Cake: Carefully unroll the cooled cake and remove the towel.
2. Spread the Filling: Spread an even layer of caramel cream filling across the cake, leaving a small border around the edges.
3. Roll it Back: Gently roll the cake back up without the towel. Place it seam-side down on a serving plate.

4. Decorate the Swiss Roll

1. Whipped Cream Rosettes: Pipe whipped cream rosettes or swirls along the top of the roll.
2. Caramel Drizzle: Drizzle caramel sauce over the top for a luxurious finish.
3. Add Toppings: Garnish with caramelized nuts, candied fruits, or chocolate shavings. Dust with cocoa powder or cinnamon for a refined touch.

Pro Tips

• Prevent Cracks: Roll the cake while it’s warm to avoid cracks.
• Salted Caramel Option: A pinch of salt in the caramel filling enhances the flavor and adds a gourmet touch.
• Refrigerate Before Serving: Chill the roll for at least 1 hour to firm up the filling and make slicing easier.
