Refreshing Polka Dot Roll Cake
Ingredients
Instructions
- Sift the flour for the roll cake twice.
- Separate the egg yolks and whites.
- Bring the butter and egg whites to room temperature.
- Place the yogurt in a gauze-lined colander and drain the liquid for one hour.
- Next, make the polka dots.
- In a bowl, mix the butter until soft and whisk in the powdered sugar, egg white and flour in that order.
- Place the batter in two small piping bags and add the food coloring to each.
- Then, cut the tips off the bags.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and using the batter from step 3, pipe out dots of alternate colors.
- They should be about the size of a bean.
- Chill until firm in the refrigerator.
- Next, make the batter for the roll cake.
- Using a hand mixer beat the egg whites and then add the sugar in two batches and beat until soft peaks form.
- Add the egg yolks and continue mixing on low speed for 1 minute.
- Mix in the flour using a rubber spatula by folding in from the bottom.
- Once the flour is incorporated, add the cream and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Pour the batter from step 5 into the baking sheet from step 4 and spread evenly.
- Bake for 12 to 13 minutes in an oven preheated to 180C.
- Once baked, place on a cooling rack with the parchment paper still attached, and let cool.
- Now, make the yogurt cream.
- In a bowl, add the drained yogurt, cream, and sugar.
- Beat with a hand mixer until it forms a thick enough consistency that you could write letters in it.
- Carefully remove the parchment paper from the baked sponge cake and place onto a fresh sheet of parchment paper with the browned side up.
- Spread the cream from step 7 over the entire cake.
- Line pineapple rings which have been cut into 8 pieces across the cake.
- Start to roll the cake from bottom.
- Place the cake with the rolled edge facing down and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Remove the cake from the parchment paper, taking care not to disturb the polka-dot pattern.
- Cut into slices however thick you'd like them and enjoy.
- This is what a cross section of the cake looks like Pineapple and yogurt cream really go well together.
