Ingredients You’ll Need for Cozy Coffee Swiss Roll

4 large eggs
100g granulated sugar
80g cake flour
20g cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
60ml warm water
1 tsp vanilla extract
200ml heavy cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar
2 tbsp brewed coffee

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy. This should take about 5 minutes; we want that creamy texture!
Sift together the cake flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into a separate bowl.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, taking care not to deflate all that air you’ve created.
Add the warm water and vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake is golden and springs back when gently touched.
Once baked, invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully roll it up with the towel while it’s still warm to form a cylinder.
Let the rolled cake cool completely while you prepare the filling.
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and brewed coffee until soft peaks form.
Carefully unroll the cooled cake, spread the coffee whipped cream evenly over the surface, then roll it back up without the towel.
Chill in the fridge for at least one hour before slicing, serving, and enjoying!

Fun Ways to Customize It

Chocolate Hazelnut Twist: Fold in some crushed hazelnuts into the coffee cream or substitute a layer of chocolate hazelnut spread instead of coffee cream for a nutty indulgence.
Minty Fresh: Add a drop of peppermint extract to the whipped cream for a refreshing mint chocolate flavor.
Seasonal Spice: Mix in a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a cozy spiced flavor, especially delightful for the Holiday season.
Fruit Filling: Swap out the coffee cream for a layer of softened cream cheese mixed with fresh berries for a fruit-forward option.
