Pandan Raspberry Roll Cake

Raspberry Jam

Ingredients

  • 300g Frozen Raspberries
  • 100g Caster Sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Agar Agar

Method

Add all ingredients into a medium pot and bring to a boil. Boil for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use a spatula to smash whole raspberries or place into a blender to blend into a smooth jam.

Pour jam into a container and leave in the fridge uncovered to set cold.

Vanilla Mascarpone Cream

Ingredients

  • 500g Mascarpone
  • 150g Icing Sugar
  • 100g Cream
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Paste

Method

Add all ingredients into a mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer whisk on high speed until stiff, firm cream is formed.
Place 1/2 of the cream into a piping bag with your desired piping tip, and set the remainder cream aside for assembly.

Pandan Roll Sponge

Equipment

13”x13” square baking tray

Ingredients

  • 30g Milk
  • 30g Vegetable Oil
  • 35g Plain Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Pandan Essence
  • 1/2 tsp Coconut/Vanilla Essence
  • 3 Eggs
  • 30g Caster Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice

Method

Step 1

Line a 13”x13” baking tray with baking paper on the bottom only (do not line the sides of the tray). Preheat the oven to 150℃.

Step 2

Separate the eggs, placing egg yolks in a small mixing bowl and the egg whites in another medium-sized bowl.

Step 3

Add milk, vegetable oil, pandan and coconut/vanilla essence into the egg yolks and whisk well together. Sift in flour, mix well and set aside.

Step 4

Add lemon juice and sugar to the egg whites. Use a hand mixer to beat until medium-sift peaks form.

Step 5

Take 1/3 of whipped egg whites and gently fold into the batter. Pour the egg batter back into the whipped egg whites and gently fold until just combined.

Step 6

Pour all the batter into the prepared baking tray, smooth out with an off-set spatula, and tap the tray a few times on the kitchen counter (to remove any large air bubbles).

Step 7

Place into oven and bake for 12-14 minutes until just lightly golden on the edges (or will spring back when gently pushed on top).
Leave to cool completely in the oven tray.

Step 8

Once cooled, use a paring knife or off-set spatula to run along the edge of the baking tray to release the sponge from the sides of the tray.

Step 9

Flip the sponge over onto a baking paper. Set aside for assembly with fillings.

Assembly

Decorations

  • Fresh Summer Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries etc.)
  • Meringue Cookies
  • Edible Flowers

Method

Spread chilled raspberry jam evenly onto Pandan sponge.
Add Mascarpone cream on top and spread evenly.

Trim 1/2” of the edge of the sponge and cut into 2” strips.
Carefully roll the strips of sponge onto a cake board or cake stand into a spiral.

Pipe mascarpone cream and jam on top of the edges of the cake and decorate with summer berries, meringue and edible flowers of your choice.

Serve and enjoy!
