How to make a Rainbow Polka Dot Swiss Roll | Cupcake Jemma

Swiss Rolls are perfect for a light, sweet treat on a sunny day but what would make a Swiss Roll better? Adding multicoloured polka dots, obviously! This method is one I’ve been wanting to do or ages and now I’m sharing it with you guys. And once you have it down, the possibilities are endless.

RECIPE:

For the dots
50 g unsalted butter, softened
50 g icing sugar, sifted
2 eggs whites
50 g plain flour, sifted
Food colouring (paste or liquid in red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple)

For the sponge
3 large free-range eggs, separated
80 g caster sugar
45 g unsalted butter, melted
75 g plain flour, sifted
½ tsp vanilla extract

For the filling
120ml double cream
Large blob of jam
Fruit of your choosing!

I travelled all the way from italy only to see the crumbs and doilies shop, because ehmmm you know... I'm a big fan. I tried every single cake that day and suddendly I saw you jemma.
obviously I wasn't able to say a single word because I'm too shy. I'm such an idiot. anyway... you're amazing and a huge inspiration for me.I hope to see you again sooner or later. the crumbs and doilies in soho is too lovely for word. <3

So good to hear this actually called a 'Swiss Roll' instead of jelly roll, cake spiral, rolled cake etc.
My favourite type of cake Yum!

Love this.
I was in the Crumbs and Doilies shop last night just before closing and everyone was so lovely! I had a really enjoyable experience and can't wait to go back soon! And obviously the cakes are incredible. I would definitely encourage people to go in.
