Swiss Roll Sponge

Ingredients

• 30 ml Grape seed oil (Neutral taste, ideal for a light sponge)
• 60 ml Whole milk (Provides moisture and softness)
• 5 ml Liquid vanilla extract (About 1 teaspoon)
• 6 units Eggs (Separate 3 whites and 3 yolks)
• 150 g Granulated sugar (Divided into two equal parts for whites and yolks)
• 150 g All-purpose flour (Sift with the leavening)
• 5 g Baking powder (About 1 teaspoon, sifted with the flour)

Instructions

1. Prepare the ingredients

   Measure the oil, milk and vanilla extract. Separate the whites from the yolks into two clean bowls.

   Time: PT5M

2. Whip the egg whites

   Whisk the whites on medium speed, adding the granulated sugar gradually until stiff peaks form resembling a bird's beak.

   Time: PT8M

3. Whisk yolks with sugar

   In the second bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining sugar on high speed for about 5 minutes until the mixture triples in volume and becomes very pale.

   Time: PT5M

4. Fold the yolk mixture into the whites

   Add the yolk‑sugar mixture to the whipped whites in three additions, gently lifting with the spatula to avoid breaking the whites.

   Time: PT2M

5. Add flour and leavening

   Sift the flour with the baking powder directly onto the batter and gently incorporate until you have a homogeneous batter with no visible flour grains.

   Time: PT3M

6. Prepare the pan and smooth the batter

   Pour the batter into the 30 × 40 cm silicone pan, smooth with the spatula then tap the pan against the work surface to bring up air bubbles. Pierce any remaining small bubbles with a toothpick.

   Time: PT3M

7. Baking

   Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 12 minutes, until the sponge is lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

   Time: PT12M

   Temperature: 180°C

8. Remove and roll the sponge

   Take the sponge out, immediately place a sheet of parchment on top, flip it onto a work surface, remove the baking film and roll it gently onto itself while still warm.

   Time: PT5M

9. Cool and fill

   Allow the sponge to cool completely before filling with ganache, jam, pastry cream or spread of your choice.
