    To make a perfect Swiss roll sponge cake, ensure you whip the egg whites with cream of tartar until medium peaks form before gradually adding sugar for stiff peaks. This will give your sponge a light and airy texture. Also, be careful when folding the meringue into the batter to maintain the volume.

  2. What are some dietary substitutions for the Swiss roll recipe?

    If you're looking for dietary substitutions, you can use gluten-free cake flour instead of regular cake flour for a gluten-free version. For a dairy-free option, substitute the evaporated milk with almond milk or coconut milk. You can also replace the white sugar with coconut sugar or a sugar alternative like stevia.

  3. How should I store leftover Swiss roll?

    To store leftover Swiss roll, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, consider freezing it. Just make sure to wrap it well to prevent freezer burn.

  4. What can I pair with my Swiss roll for a dessert platter?

    For a delightful dessert platter, pair your Swiss roll with fresh berries like strawberries or raspberries, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. You can also serve it with whipped cream or a side of fruit compote for added flavor.

  5. What is the best way to decorate a Swiss roll?

    The best way to decorate a Swiss roll is by using Swiss Butter Cream frosting, which you can spread evenly over the top. You can also add toppings like edible glitter, sprinkles, or fresh fruit for a colorful presentation. For a more elegant touch, consider dusting with powdered sugar or cocoa powder.
