  • 7 egg yolks
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sponge cake mix (SP)

• B.

  • 25 grams keto-friendly cake flour

• C.

  • 100 grams unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling

• 1 can tuna in oil, drained
• Mayonnaise (to taste)
• 1 sachet of sweetener
• A pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter

1. In a mixing bowl, beat Ingredient A together until thick and creamy, achieving a ribbon-like texture. This process is crucial for a fluffy cake.
2. With the mixer set to the lowest speed, gently incorporate Ingredient B into the egg mixture until just combined.
3. Gradually add Ingredient C (melted butter) and fold it into the batter until everything is evenly mixed.

Step 2: Bake the Cake

4. Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
5. Line a baking tray (preferably 28 x 28 cm) with baking paper. Pour the batter onto the tray and spread it evenly.
6. Tap the tray lightly on the counter to release any air bubbles, which will help ensure a dense and stable roll.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes or until the cake is lightly golden and springy to the touch.

Step 3: Prepare the Filling

8. While the cake is baking, mix together the filling ingredients in a bowl. Make sure to drain the tuna thoroughly; for an even drier filling, you can sauté the tuna until slightly crispy before combining it with the mayonnaise, sweetener, and salt.
9. Place the filling mixture in the refrigerator to chill until the cake is ready.

Step 4: Assemble the Swiss Roll

10. Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Then, place a clean kitchen towel on your work surface and invert the cake onto it. Carefully peel away the baking paper.
11. While the cake is still warm, gently roll it up with the towel. Allow it to cool completely in this shape, which helps set the structure.

Step 5: Add the Filling and Final Roll

12. Once cooled, unroll the cake and spread the chilled filling evenly over the surface. Be generous but ensure you don’t overspill!
13. Roll the cake back up tightly, using the towel to help shape it. Wrap the rolled cake in the towel and place it in the freezer for about 30 minutes to set.

Step 6: Slice and Serve

14. After chilling, remove the roll from the freezer and slice into pieces. Each slice is a delightful, low-carb treat perfect for any occasion.

Note:

• Be sure to tap the tray before baking to eliminate any trapped air in the batter. A properly tapped tray will yield a denser roll cake.
• If you prefer a thicker cake, you can use a 26 x 26 cm tray instead.
• Each slice of this delectable cake contains less than half a net carb, making it a perfect choice for those on a keto journey. However, enjoy it in moderation to maintain your keto lifestyle!

This Swiss roll tuna mayo is not just a recipe; it’s a delightful culinary experience that brings together the joy of cooking with the pleasure of sharing good food. Perfect for lunchboxes, picnics, or simply as a satisfying snack, this dish will surely impress family and friends alike. Enjoy!
