Delicious Guava Swiss Roll Cake for Sweet Moments at Home
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Guava paste
- 1/2 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 1/4 cup Softened butter
- 3 large Eggs (separated)
- 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Guava Filling: In a saucepan, boil the guava paste for 5 minutes over medium-high heat until it’s smooth, thick, and spreadable. Stir in the fresh orange juice and orange zest until well blended.
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F. Grease a jelly-roll pan with butter, then line it with baking parchment and grease the parchment again.
- Beat the Egg Whites: In a stand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar while increasing the speed to high until stiff peaks form.
- Whip the Egg Yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until fluffy and pale yellow.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold the whipped egg yolks into the egg whites, followed by the flour mixture and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Pour the Batter: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared jelly-roll pan.
- Bake the Cake: Bake for about 15 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Invert onto Towel: While still warm, invert the cake onto a slightly damp kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
- Roll Up the Cake: Start rolling the cake from the shorter side using the towel to guide you and set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
- Spread the Guava Filling: Unroll the cake and spread the guava filling over the surface, leaving about ½ inch around the edges.
- Re-Roll the Cake: Carefully roll the cake up again, ensuring the seam is face down. Wrap tightly in parchment paper and then in plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Trim the Ends: Before serving, unwrap the roll and trim the ends to reveal the beautiful swirl inside.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Brush the cake with reserved guava filling and dust with powdered sugar. Slice and enjoy!
