Fluffy Apple Cinnamon Swiss Roll
Ingredients:
For the Apple Filling:
- 7-8 apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
For the Sponge Cake Batter:
- 4 egg whites (from large eggs, size C0)
- A pinch of salt
- 1 packet (10 g) vanilla sugar
- 100 g sugar (5 tbsp without the heap)
- 4 egg yolks
- 100 g all-purpose flour (5 tbsp without the heap)
- 1 tsp (5 g) baking powder
Steps on How to Do It:
- Prepare the Apples:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F), setting it to the top and bottom heating mode (without convection).
- Peel, core, and slice the apples thinly. Sprinkle the apples with ground cinnamon and set them aside to marinate while you prepare the batter.
- Prepare the Apples:
- Make the Sponge Cake Batter:
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
- In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla sugar while continuing to beat the whites until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
- In another bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks and gently fold them into the beaten egg whites. Be careful not to deflate the whites as you fold.
- Sift the flour and baking powder into the mixture and gently fold them in with a spatula, mixing until just combined. The batter should remain light and fluffy.
- Prepare the Pan and Assemble:
- Grease a 27×38 cm baking pan (or line it with parchment paper) to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the cinnamon-coated apple slices evenly on the bottom of the pan.
- Pour the batter over the apples, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Make the Sponge Cake Batter:
- Bake:
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes at 180°C. The sponge should rise, become golden brown, and spring back when touched.
- After baking, let the cake cool slightly in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Bake:
- Roll the Cake:
- Once the cake has cooled enough to handle, gently invert it onto a clean kitchen towel or parchment paper. Carefully peel off the parchment paper from the bottom (now top) of the cake, if used.
- Starting from one end, gently roll the cake into a Swiss roll, ensuring that the apple slices stay intact inside the roll. Use the towel or parchment paper to help guide the roll and keep it tight.
- Let the cake cool completely in its rolled shape.
- Serve:
- Once cooled, slice the Swiss roll into rounds and serve it as a delightful dessert. You can dust it with powdered sugar or serve it with whipped cream for an extra touch.
