Nutella & Berry Swiss Roll
This cake is a symphony of textures and flavours in your mouth with a soft vanilla and Nutella swirl sponge, a tart layer of raspberry jam, smooth and airy whipped cream, and a fresh tangy sweetness from the strawberries!

Ingredients:
For the Sponge Cake:
- 3 large eggs
- 80 g caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 45 g melted butter
- A pinch of salt
- 75 g plain flour
- 2 tbsp Nutella
For assembling the swiss roll:
- 100 ml whipping cream, chilled
- 2 tsp caster sugar
- 3-4 tbsp raspberry jam
- 8-10 strawberries, chopped to small chunks
- 2 tbsp Nutella
Process:
For the sponge :
- Preheat your oven to 180°C.
- Line an open-rimmed baking sheet with baking paper and set aside.
- Separate egg whites and yolks into two large bowls.
- Add 40g of sugar, vanilla and melted butter (cool it for 5 mins) to the egg yolks and whisk until pale.
- Add remaining sugar and pinch of salt to the egg whites and whisk to soft peaks.
- Loosen egg yolk mixture with 1/3rd whipped egg whites and then fold the rest in.
- Sift in the flour and fold gently until combined. Pour half of the batter into the baking tray.
- Add Nutella to the remaining batter and fold it in. Spoon this over the vanilla batter at regular intervals. Use a knife or toothpick and start to create swirls.
- Bake at 180°C for 8-10 minutes.
- Once the cake is ready, loosen it from the sides of the baking tray and tip it onto another tray. Invert it once again on to a tea towel. Place a sheet of baking paper on the cake and then roll it as you would a Swiss roll, along with the tea towel. This helps the cake retain its shape and keep it warm.
Assembly:
- Whip up your cream along with sugar to soft peaks.
- Unroll your cake and take off the baking paper on the top. Spread an even layer of raspberry jam, then whipped cream and finally, chopped strawberries.
- Roll your cake with the help of the baking paper on the bottom, gradually taking it off the paper.
- Set your Swiss roll onto a serving plate and allow it to set in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
- Trim off the sides to get even slices and drizzle over some more Nutella and chopped strawberries before serving. Enjoy! 🙂
