Strawberry and mascarpone roulade is a refined and indulgent dessert that will delight all lovers of fruity sweets. Its light and fluffy sponge cake, combined with a rich mascarpone cream and juicy strawberries, makes it a perfect pastry for any occasion. Easy to make, this dessert requires few ingredients and little preparation time, making it ideal for an impromptu snack or a delicious end to a meal.
The combination of mascarpone and strawberries creates a melting texture and an irresistible taste. The mascarpone, with its creamy sweetness, contrasts beautifully with the natural acidity of fresh strawberries. To further enhance the flavors, a light syrup made with Alkermès liqueur soaks the sponge cake, adding a subtle, fragrant note. This aromatic touch gives this Swiss roll a unique taste that will delight even the most discerning palates.
The success of this dessert relies on a few key steps: preparing a light sponge cake, delicate assembly, and a resting time that allows for a perfect texture. It’s essential to thoroughly whisk the eggs and sugar to incorporate as much air as possible, which guarantees a light batter. A short baking time also helps preserve the sponge’s softness. After baking, roll the still-warm sponge cake to give it its shape without the risk of cracking.
In addition to being delicious, this Swiss roll cake is also a feast for the eyes. With its spirals generously filled with mascarpone and strawberry pieces, it’s as beautiful as it is delicious. It can be decorated with a few fresh strawberries on top, a light dusting of icing sugar, or even a drizzle of melted chocolate for an even more indulgent touch. This dessert always makes a statement on a festive table or at a convivial meal.
Easy to personalize, this Swiss roll cake can be adapted to suit your tastes and desires. You can replace the strawberries with other red fruits, add a squeeze of lemon zest to the cream, or flavor the sponge cake with a little vanilla. Whichever variation you choose, this recipe guarantees a fresh, light, and irresistibly delicious dessert. Try it and enjoy this delicious strawberry and mascarpone roll!
