Some recipe instructions ask you to bake sponge cakes for roll cakes at a higher temperature, such as 375 or 400 degrees F. This will be enough to use in any recipe that calls for room temperature eggs (which is most of Scientifically Sweet recipes). Submerge them in very warm (not boiling) water from the tap for 10 minutes. You can pull them from the fridge and leave them at room temperature for 1 hour.īut what a pain in the butt that is! Who has time to remember? The good news is that there is a quick way to bring eggs to room temperature quickly! Take your eggs from the fridge and place them in a bowl. Most of us store eggs in the fridge (at least if you live in North America), so planning ahead is important for baking to ensure your ingredients are all at room temperature.
#VANILLA FUDGE SWIRL HOW TO#
How to bring cold eggs to room temperature quickly: This creates the most homogeneous batter without having to mix excessively which would otherwise knock a lot of the air out of the batter. I always sift half of the blended dry ingredients over the wet mixture, fold it in, then sift the remaining dry ingredients and fold them in. If you were to dump all the dry ingredients over the whipped eggs, then they would just sink to the bottom immediately and most likely leave you with a lumpy batter. Instead it will gently fall onto the egg foam. Sifting will also ensure that the flour doesn’t lump into the batter. Sifting the flour will ensure there are no lumps and the flour particles are evenly dispersed so that the they absorb into the batter quickly. Over-mixing will deflate all the air bubbles from the egg foam. Actually, sift them twice! Since this is a relatively wet batter, it is important that the dry ingredients are incorporated evenly without having to mix too much. Yes, for this recipe, DO sift the dry ingredients. This cake rolls so easily! Just watch the video to see how simple it is with no cracks! Do you need to sift dry ingredients? Butter is firm at room temperature so when it cools it will harden and make the sponge more susceptible to cracking as you roll it. While I use butter in most of my recipes, oil makes the softest sponge cake! That’s because oil is liquid at room temperature so the sponge will stay flexible even when it cools down. Room temperature eggs: For this recipe you don’t need to use a water bath nor separate eggs, but you cannot use COLD eggs. However, I wanted a recipe that didn’t even require this step. Basically, heat unravels them! This increases the surface area that is exposed to air so that the protein strands can bind to air more easily. Heat slightly denatures the proteins in egg whites which in non-sciencey terms means that it makes them change from a tight coiled up shape (like a spring, or a slinky if you will…) to a loose shape. It’s a great technique because heating the eggs makes the egg proteins more willing to take and hold air bubbles which makes for a fluffier sponge. Some sponge cake recipes even require you to whisk the eggs over a water bath… it’s the method used for Genoise cakes. I wanted a recipe that I could whip up in minutes for when I had last minute company or needed to make a quick dessert for family, or even just for the two of us! THIS IS IT! I have so many recipes for them… many of which require separating eggs and beating yolks separate from whites. Since I make them so often, I was on a mission to develop a roll cake that was EASY and fuss free. For this you will need to make up a batch of my Easy One Pot Dark Chocolate Hot Fudge Sauce. I mean what’s not to love about a soft, tender, light spongy cake with swirls of cream filling?īONUS – I swirl dark chocolate fudge through it to make it EXTRA special. This is the lightest ever vanilla sponge cake, and the best part? No separating eggs required! In my family, we LOVE roll cakes.
