Step-by-Step Instructions for Orange Swiss Roll
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat 4 large eggs and 100 grams of granulated sugar together until thick and pale, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, sift 100 grams of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gently fold this into the egg mixture.
  3. Gently fold in 1 tablespoon of orange zest, 2 tablespoons of fresh orange juice, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Pour batter into tray and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  5. Whip 200 milliliters of heavy cream with 50 grams of powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  6. Once the cake cools slightly, dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar, invert the cake onto it, and roll it tightly.
  7. Allow rolled cake to cool completely for about 30 minutes, then unroll, spread the filling, and re-roll.
  8. Dust with additional powdered sugar, slice, and serve chilled.
