Savory Green Onion and Pork Floss Cake Roll: A Step-by-Step Guide

Creating a delicious green onion and pork floss cake roll is simpler than it looks! This fluffy, savory treat combines the sweetness of cake with the umami of pork floss and fresh green onions. Here’s a concise guide to making it at home.

Ingredients:

- 4 eggs (separated)

- 60g sugar

- 60g all-purpose flour

- 20g milk

- 30g vegetable oil

- ½ tsp vanilla extract

- 50g green onions (finely chopped)

- 100g pork floss

Steps:

1. Prepare Batter: Whisk egg yolks, milk, oil, and vanilla until smooth. Sift in flour and fold gently until combined. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with sugar until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in three batches, adding green onions in the last fold.

2. Bake: Pour the batter into a 15x25cm lined baking tray. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15-18 minutes until golden. Test with a toothpick—it should come out clean.

3. Assemble: Immediately invert the cake onto a parchment paper dusted with sugar. Peel off the lining, spread a thin layer of cream (optional) and sprinkle pork floss evenly. Roll tightly from the short end, using the paper to help.

4. Serve: Let the roll cool completely, then slice into 2cm thick pieces. For extra flavor, brush with melted butter before adding pork floss.

Enjoy this delightful blend of textures and flavors—perfect for breakfast or snacks!
