Ingredients
Scale
Sponge Cake
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
Cream Filling
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup diced mango (fresh or canned)
Decoration
- Extra diced mango for decoration
- Mango sauce or puree (optional)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Make the Sponge Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until the mixture becomes fluffy and light, then add the vanilla extract for flavor.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt into the egg mixture, then gently fold them in to retain airiness in the batter.
- Bake the Cake: Spread the batter evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cake turns lightly golden and springs back when touched.
- Roll the Cake: Turn the warm cake out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar, then gently roll the cake up with the towel inside and let it cool completely to hold its shape.
- Whip the Cream Filling: Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue whipping until the cream is firm.
- Add Mango: Gently fold the diced mango pieces into the whipped cream to create the delicious filling.
- Assemble the Cake: Once the sponge cake is cooled, carefully unroll it, spread the whipped cream and mango filling evenly over the surface.
- Roll the Cake Again: Roll the cake back up tightly but gently (without the towel) and transfer it to a serving plate.
- Decorate: Drizzle optional mango sauce or puree on top and add extra diced mango for decoration to enhance the appearance and flavor.
- Dust: Lightly dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled roll cake for about an hour to let it set firmly. Slice into servings and enjoy your refreshing mango cream roll cake!
Notes
- Use fresh mangoes for the best flavor and texture, but canned mangoes work fine if fresh ones are not available.
- Be gentle when folding the flour and diced mango into the batter and whipped cream to keep the mixture light and airy.
- Chilling the cake before serving helps the roll maintain its shape and improves slicing quality.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the heavy cream with a plant-based whipping cream alternative.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent the sponge cake from sticking and facilitate easy rolling.
