Choco Walnut Swiss Roll
I love swiss rolls, as a child I remember growing up to it… Black forest cake, butter cream pastries, cream roll (anyone remember those? must make them one of these days) and swiss rolls were the things we grew up on… So when I took up the task of making these, I was pretty nervous and excited…. but it did turn out awesome and we all loved it 🙂
I made it using a chiffon sponge and it was soft spongy and not very heavy… perfect for a swiss roll

Ingredients
For the sponge cake
- Flour 100gms
- Cocoa 15gm
- Baking Powder 3 gm
- Baking Soda a pinch
- Egg Yolk 4-5 depending on how big the egg was
- Sugar Powder 60gm
- Salt a pinch
- Water 75ml
- Oil 60ml
- Egg white 5-6 depending on how big the egg was
- Salt a pinch (yes again)
- Sugar 40gm
For the filling
Method
- Sift flour, cocca powder, baking powder, baking soda twice
- In a deep bowl mix sugar powder, oil, egg yolks, water and slowly mix to blend together till smooth. This can get tricky, dont be too hard and over mix here
- Beat egg whites, sugar and salt till soft peaks are formed
- Blend the egg white meringue into egg yolk mixture slowly making sure not to loose the volume.
- Fold the dry mixture and mix to form a smooth batter.
- Pour into a 12″x15″ tray which has been greased and lined with butter paper, let the batter be only 1/4″ high maximum
- Bake 180C for about 5-6 mins till done. Remember not to over do it as it will loose the spongyness and softness and will become very dry.
- Let it cool completely and using a butter paper roll and let it set for abour 2 hours.
- Open the roll now and spread a layer of truffle cream on top of the cake.
- Spread the whipped cream and walnuts in a very thin layer on top of the truffle cream of make alternate rows to see the design in the final roll as I did

- Roll again and keep it to set in a butter paper for about 2-3 hours.
- Slice and enjoy

Omg! That looks so sinful! I would die for a slice 🙂 I wish I had the courage to try this 🙂
smitha come on u cant be saying that its not difficult at all go ahead and try
Certainly droolworthy !!! Copying the recipe…Thanks…Its a must try and I’ll certainly do it.
I do see the bribe to Shruti… 😉
Am back with few ques
– 180 degree in a convection m/w?
– You said “Let it cool completely and using a butter paper roll and let it set for abour 2 hours.”
Now tell me we shud let it cool and then roll or roll and then let it cool?? 😀
oh i made it in OTG… if u are doing it in microwave dont use the convection… microwave on high for abt 4 mins I think it should be done but I have never tried it in microwave ok 😉
and let it cool a bit like it is just a little warm… roll it in than let it be for 2 hours
You know between M/w and convection I always choose the later for baking because it is slow cooking! There is a huge difference in the softness when convection is used!!!
In fact I feel convection cooking is akin to Oven cooking!
OMG!! Sinfully gorgeous!!!
*droooll*
The roll looks heavenly.. I can hear my stomach growling when I see such pics nearing lunch time 😀
no choco stuff for me 🙂
