Step by step - Preparation guide
1. Preparing the batter
Start by cracking the 3 eggs into a large bowl. Add the brown sugar and, using a mixer, beat well on low speed for about 10 minutes. The goal is to achieve a fluffy mixture that doubles in volume. A secret here is not to rush the process - patience is key!
2. Incorporating the flour
Sift the flour over the egg and sugar mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold in from the bottom up to ensure an airy texture. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy and light roll.
3. Preparing the tray
Line the baking tray with baking paper, making sure it is well secured. Pour the obtained mixture into the tray, leveling it with a spatula to have an even thickness.
4. Baking
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F, Gas 6) and place the tray in the center of the oven. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the surface turns golden and springs back when touched. It is important not to leave the roll in longer, as it will dry out.
5. The rolling trick
Moisten a kitchen towel and place it on a flat surface. Place plastic wrap on top and sprinkle powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Carefully flip the roll batter onto this layer, gently removing the baking paper.
6. Filling the roll
Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the entire surface of the roll. If you don’t have raspberry jam, don’t worry! Strawberry or cherry jam will work perfectly. Then, add a thin layer of cream for extra creaminess.
7. Rolling the roll
Using the plastic wrap, start rolling the roll carefully, ensuring it doesn’t break. The roll should be tight but not too tight, allowing the batter to rise. Once finished, remove the plastic wrap and place the roll on a serving platter.
8. Decorating
Melt the dark chocolate together with 3-4 tablespoons of liquid cream. Use a knife or spatula to decorate the roll with the melted chocolate. If desired, you can also add a bit of powdered sugar on top for an elegant look.
9. Cooling and serving
Refrigerate the roll for 10-15 minutes so that the chocolate sets. Once cooled, cut into slices of desired size. It is now ready to serve!
Practical tips
- Try variations: Experiment with different jams or add chopped nuts to the filling for extra texture.
- Serve with drinks: This roll pairs perfectly with a fruit tea or a flavored coffee.
- Storage: The roll can be kept in the fridge for a few days, but it is best fresh.
Nutritional benefits
This jam roll contains protein from eggs, antioxidants from the jam, and healthy fats from cream and chocolate. It is a relatively light dessert, suitable to be enjoyed in moderation.
