- The recipe and method for making the Swiss roll with fresh cream and jam come to you from the Sho Tabkhin Al-Youm kitchen:
Method
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks and place each in a separate bowl.
- Beat the egg whites with the vinegar and a pinch of salt until stiff foam forms.
- Beat the egg yolks with the vanilla, then gradually add the sugar and beat for about 5 minutes, then add the oil.

- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the batter onto it.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180°C.
- Leave the cake in the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes maximum because we don't want the Swiss roll to stay in the oven too long or it will become tough...
- When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and roll it while it is still hot
- Wrap the cake in a towel and cover it well, then set it aside to cool.
- When the Swiss roll has cooled, carefully unroll it and fill it with a thin layer of fresh cream and then a layer of strawberry jam or any jam you have available, as desired
- Re-roll the Swiss roll and spread fresh cream on the outside; decorate as shown in the accompanying photos with fresh fruit as available and desired, and also with flowers and blossoms.
- The flowers used to decorate this Swiss roll are real but not edible and were removed before slicing the cake, used only as decoration.
