Cream Roll Recipe with Fresh Fruit

cream roll with strawberries

This cream roll recipe ("Biskuitrolle mit frische Frucht") is made just like a jelly roll recipe only it's filled with whipped cream and fresh fruit. Oh, so German. Oh, so delicious. And, oh, so quick and easy! At first, I used to think of this as a difficult recipe.

I soon found out, though, that if I just get everything ready before I start, the whole process actually goes quickly. AND the final result is so stunning! In fact, the cake bleow was made with the help of my 9-year old granddaughter, Lydia.

Blueberry Cream Roll

Ingredients:

  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp corn starch
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup icing sugar, sifted (see hints below)
  • 1 1/2 cups prepared fruit

Instructions:

  • Line a rimmed cookie sheet (15" X 10") with parchment paper.
  • Preheat oven to 400° F.
  • In a small bowl, mix together flour, corn starch, and baking powder, and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whip egg whites with 3 tbsp water until stiff. Slowly whip in 1/2 cup sugar. Gently stir in egg yolks. Fold in flour mixture.
  • Spread batter on paper-lined cookie sheet.
  • Bake 8 - 10 minutes until wooden pick inserted in centre comes out clean.
  • Place sheet of waxed paper over damp cloth towel. Sprinkle with a bit of sugar.
  • Turn out cake onto waxed paper and peel off lining paper. Trim cake edges if needed.
  • Roll up (lengthwise) cake and waxed paper together. Set aside to cool.
  • Beat whipping cream and icing sugar until stiff.
  • Mix fruit with whipped cream.
  • Unroll cooled cake. (Brush with jam if desired - see note above).
  • Spread with fruit/cream mixture. Roll up, using waxed paper to lift cake.
  • Sprinkle with additional icing sugar.

Hints:

  • If possible, use a whipped cream stabilizer such Dr. Oetker's "Whip it" and add about 2 tsp of icing sugar instead.

For the fruit, you can use almost any variety. Sliced strawberries, fresh or frozen raspberries, currants, diced or sliced peaches, blueberries, etc., all work nicely. Even a combination of fruit would be nice. Above is with strawberries, below with blueberries.

This Cream Roll recipe is best made in the morning and served fresh the same day. It needs a bit of time to cool before filling and should stand a bit in the fridge before serving. With a bit of careful planning, this really goes together quite quickly.

It's also a fun recipe to do with kids. They just can't figure out how one can roll a cake! Once they see how easy it is to do, and how much fun they had doing it, it's one they'll add to their growing list of their own special recipe.
