Their charming appearance and amazing flavors often attract attention in pastry shops. No one can resist these delicious treats at parties, especially when the cream is homemade and made with starch.

Ingredients for making Cream Roll:
2 eggs
50g flour
50g sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp baking powder
Jam (as needed)
Steps to Prepare the Cream Roll:
Mix Sugar and Eggs:
In the first step, choose a suitable bowl and beat the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer. Mix until the volume of the mixture doubles. Once you have a light and fluffy mixture, set it aside for the next steps.
Add Flour and Baking Powder:
In the second step, sift the flour and baking powder three times and add them to the egg mixture. Mix gently with a spatula until the flour is fully incorporated.
Prepare the Pan:
In the third step, take your double-sided pan and grease both sides lightly with oil, then place it on the heat. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth it out with a spatula. Set the heat to low-medium. The cake will cook on one side in 10 minutes, and on the other side in 5 minutes. Be sure to remove the pan’s washer before adding the batter.
Roll the Cake:
In the fourth step, use a clean, damp towel and spread wax paper on top. Carefully take the cake out of the pan and place it on the wax paper. Roll the cake gently with the help of the towel. Leave it aside for 1 to 2 hours to cool completely.
Fill the Roll with Cream:
In the fifth step, unroll the cake and spread the cream on it. You can then add strawberry jam, crushed fruit, nuts, or chocolate ganache as a filling. Once filled, roll it back up with the help of the wax paper and refrigerate for several hours to let the filling set.
Serve the Cream Roll:
In the final step, remove the roll from the fridge, slice it into desired pieces, and arrange them on a serving plate. Garnish with coconut powder, pistachio slivers, almond slivers, or chocolate sauce. Your cream roll is ready to serve!
Additional Tips for Making Cream Roll:
Choosing the Right Pan:
Using a double-sided pan is ideal for making cream rolls. Always remove the pan’s washer before pouring in the batter. A flame spreader can be used to ensure the cake cooks evenly, even with a low flame.
Rolling the Cream Roll:
Spread whipped cream over the surface of the cake with a spatula. Gently roll it from the top down. Be sure to use wax paper to make rolling easier, and press gently to set the roll. Close the ends of the wax paper carefully.
Cutting the Cream Roll:
Refrigerate the cake for 2-3 hours to ensure it cools and firms up. Use a serrated knife to cut the roll, wiping it with a warm, damp towel after each cut for clean slices.
Storing the Cream Roll:
To store the roll, place it in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days. If freezing, individually wrap each slice, and they can last for up to 3 months. To serve frozen slices, simply place them at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
Preparing the Cream:
You don’t need to buy cream for your roll from a pastry shop. You can easily prepare it at home by whipping thick cream with a hand mixer for a few minutes. Then, add powdered sugar and continue mixing until the cream becomes stiff and fluffy.
Choosing the Right Towel:
Use a clean, lint-free cotton towel for rolling the cake to prevent any lint from sticking to the cake.
Adding Fruit to the Cream Roll:
While the cream roll is traditionally made with just cream, you can modify the recipe according to your taste. Some great options for fillings include strawberries, oranges, kiwi, bananas, apples, and cinnamon. You can also make a chocolate or pomegranate cream roll by adding cocoa powder, instant coffee, or pomegranate seeds.
Using Cardamom and Rosewater:
Adding cardamom and rosewater will enhance the flavor and aroma of your cream roll. Just be careful not to overdo it with the rosewater, as too much can make the roll bitter.
