Introduction

This Raspberry White Chocolate Cake Roll is a delightful dessert combining a light, fluffy cake with a creamy, fruity filling. The sweetness of white chocolate perfectly complements the tartness of fresh raspberries, making it a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh raspberries, crushed
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
2. Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Step 3: In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until pale and thick. Gently fold in the dry ingredients and vanilla extract.
4. Step 4: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 12-15 minutes until the cake is golden brown.
5. Step 5: While the cake is baking, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then fold in the melted white chocolate and crushed raspberries.
6. Step 6: Remove the cake from the oven, invert it onto a powdered sugar-dusted towel, and roll it up while still warm. Let it cool completely in this rolled shape.
7. Step 7: Once cooled, unroll the cake, spread the filling evenly over the surface, then roll it back up tightly without the towel. Wrap the cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.

Tips & Variations

• For easier rolling, dust the towel generously with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
• Substitute frozen raspberries for fresh if out of season, but be sure to thaw and drain excess liquid first.
• Try adding a splash of raspberry liqueur to the filling for an adult twist.
• Use dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate for a richer flavor contrast.

Storage

Store the cake roll wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to bring out the best texture and flavor. The cake can also be frozen for up to one month; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Cake

• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Filling

• 1 cup fresh raspberries, crushed
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. Prepare the oven and pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the cake.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agent and seasoning in the batter.
3. Beat eggs and sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture is pale and thick, which incorporates air for a light sponge texture. Then gently fold in the dry ingredients and vanilla extract without deflating the batter.
4. Bake the cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared jelly roll pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and springs back lightly when touched.
5. Prepare the filling: While the cake bakes, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short bursts and stirring until smooth. Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold in the melted white chocolate and crushed fresh raspberries to create a fluffy, creamy filling.
6. Roll the cake: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and carefully invert it onto a kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment paper. Roll the cake up gently while warm, with the towel inside, and let it cool completely in this rolled shape to avoid cracking.
7. Fill and chill: After the cake is completely cool, unroll it carefully. Spread the raspberry and white chocolate filling evenly over the surface. Roll the cake back up tightly, this time without the towel, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least one hour to set and enhance the flavors before serving.

Notes

• Ensure to roll the cake while it is warm to prevent cracking.
• Parchment paper and a powdered sugar-dusted towel are essential to prevent sticking during the rolling process.
• The filling can be adjusted for sweetness by varying the amount of white chocolate or raspberries.
• For a decorative touch, dust the finished roll with powdered sugar or drizzle extra melted white chocolate.
• Store the cake roll wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for optimal freshness.
