Blueberry Jam Cake Roll: A Step-by-Step Guide

Indulge in a delightful Blueberry Jam Cake Roll, a perfect blend of soft sponge and fruity sweetness. Here’s a simple recipe to recreate this treat at home.

Ingredients:

- 4 eggs

- 80g sugar

- 80g all-purpose flour

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 100g blueberry jam (store-bought or homemade)

- Whipped cream (optional, for filling)

Steps:

1. Prepare the Batter: Separate eggs. Beat yolks with 40g sugar until pale. Add vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with the remaining sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the yolk mixture into the whites, then sift in flour and fold until just combined.

2. Bake the Sponge: Pour the batter into a parchment-lined baking tray (30x20cm). Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 12-15 minutes until golden. Let it cool slightly.

3. Assemble the Roll: Spread blueberry jam evenly over the sponge. If using, add a thin layer of whipped cream. Carefully roll the sponge from the short end, using the parchment to guide it.

4. Serve: Chill the roll for 1 hour before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar for a elegant touch.

This cake roll is best enjoyed fresh but stays soft for 2 days when stored refrigerated. Perfect for afternoon tea or dessert!
