Delightful Raspberry Swirl Christmas Roll Recipe

Raspberry Swirl Christmas Roll made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 cup raspberry puree
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Fresh raspberries for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until thick and pale, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gently fold into the egg mixture.
  • Drizzle in the melted butter and gently fold until fully incorporated.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.
  • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly before transferring to a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
  • Roll the cake gently from one end using the towel as a guide and let it cool completely.
  • Make the raspberry filling by mixing the raspberry puree into a bowl and set aside.
  • Prepare the frosting by beating the powdered sugar and lemon juice together until smooth.
  • Unroll the cooled cake gently, spread the raspberry filling evenly, re-roll it, and chill for at least an hour.
  • Once chilled, remove the roll, spread the frosting over the top, and garnish with fresh raspberries.
  • Slice into pieces, serve, and enjoy your Raspberry Swirl Christmas Roll.
