The secret to the perfect Swiss roll
The key to a perfect mandarin sponge roll is preparing a fluffy sponge cake and selecting fresh, high-quality mandarins. An airy cream filling completes the whole thing and makes the roll a light, refreshing dessert.
Selection of ingredients: Light and tasty
- For the sponge cake: eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, flour and a pinch of salt.
- For the filling: Fresh cream, sugar, vanilla sugar and tangerines (fresh or canned, well drained).
- For decoration: A few tangerine pieces and, if desired, powdered sugar or chocolate shavings.

- Prepare the sponge cake: Beat eggs with sugar and vanilla sugar until fluffy. Gently fold in the flour and spread onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake in the preheated oven until the sponge cake is golden.
- Allow the sponge cake to cool: After baking, turn the sponge cake onto a kitchen towel sprinkled with sugar, carefully peel off the baking paper and roll the sponge cake with the towel. Let cool down.
- Prepare the filling: Beat the cream with the sugar and vanilla sugar until stiff. Fold in tangerines.
- Fill the roll: Carefully roll out the sponge cake, spread it with the cream and mandarin filling and roll it up again.
- Decorate and cool: Decorate the roll with tangerine pieces and let it solidify in the fridge for a few hours. Before serving, sprinkle with powdered sugar or chocolate shavings if desired.

The tangerine Swiss roll can be easily customized by using other fruits such as strawberries, raspberries or peaches. Adding liqueur to the cream filling can also add an interesting flavor note.
