Orange Roll Cake
Ingredients
- 6-8 slices of orange
- Granulated sugar (2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons or 38g)
- Water (approx. 3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon or 55g)
- Eggs (about 5, each approximately 55g)
- Fresh orange juice (approx. 1/4 cup or 56g)
- Vegetable oil (3 tablespoons or 42g)
- Cake flour (1/2 cup or 66g)
- Granulated sugar (for the egg whites) (1/4 cup or 52g)
- Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
- Vanilla extract (1 tablespoon)
Filling:
- Whipped cream (approx. 2/3 cup or 160g)
- Granulated sugar (2 tablespoons or 25g)
- Vanilla extract (1 tablespoon)
- Salt (1/4 teaspoon or 1.5g)
Procedure
- In a pot, combine fresh orange slices, sugar, and water. Heat until boiling, then cook on medium-low heat until little water remains. Transfer the orange slices onto parchment paper and pat dry with kitchen paper.
- Line a baking tray with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Place the orange slices randomly.
- In a clean bowl, thoroughly mix fresh orange juice, vegetable oil, cake flour, and egg yolks. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
- To the egg whites, add lemon juice, sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the orange juice-flour mixture until just combined.
- Gently pour the mixture into the baking tray.
- Level it off. Tap to release air bubbles. Bake in the oven for 32 minutes.
- In a clean bowl, combine whipped cream, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract, and beat with an electric mixer until it becomes thick and forms stiff peaks.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool on a rack before removing it from the tray. When the cake is cool to the touch, loosen the edges with a spatula, invert the entire tray onto parchment paper. Remove the tray and peel off the silicone mat.
- Spread the whipped cream on the golden brown side, level it, and roll it up. Let the cake rest in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Slice and serve.
