Preparation Time: 780 minutes (including chilling)
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 13 x 9-inch cake tray with aluminum foil and grease the foil with butter to prevent the cake from sticking.
-
Prepare the Cake Batter:
- Sift the all-purpose flour (maida) into a mixing bowl to remove any lumps.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the whole eggs using a hand mixer on high speed for about 2-3 minutes until the eggs become thick and fluffy.
- Add the hot water to the egg mixture and continue beating for a few more seconds.
- Gradually add the sugar, and continue to beat the mixture until the sugar is fully incorporated, about 2 more minutes.
- Fold in the sifted flour and mix gently until well combined.
- Add the vanilla extract to the batter and fold it in.
-
Bake the Cake:
- Pour the prepared batter into the prepared cake tray and tap it gently to even out the batter and release any air bubbles.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, carefully flip the cake onto a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely.
-
Prepare the Mocha Whipped Cream:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream and caster sugar.
- Beat the mixture using an electric beater on low speed for a few seconds, gradually increasing the speed until soft peaks form.
- Add the instant coffee powder and continue to beat the mixture until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-beat the cream at this stage.
-
Assemble the Swiss Roll:
- Once the cake has completely cooled, flip it onto a piece of greased aluminum foil with the smooth side facing down.
- Spread a generous layer of the prepared mocha whipped cream evenly over the surface of the cake.
- Starting from one end, gently roll the cake with the cream filling inside, using the aluminum foil to help you roll it smoothly.
- Wrap the rolled cake with the foil and refrigerate it for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
-
Serve the Mocha Swiss Roll:
- After the chilling time, remove the cake from the refrigerator.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the Mocha Swiss Roll into individual pieces and serve.
- For an extra touch, serve the Swiss roll alongside a Cinnamon Spiced Orange Iced Tea or a hot cup of coffee for a truly delightful treat.
