Swissroll cakes are fun to do but also quite hard to nail it right because of the rolling method required. In order to achieve that, all you need to have is a very moist genoise sponge cake. As you all may know, egg based cakes are the most durable of all. (It’s ok if you didn’t know though, hahaha). Thus, it is 100% recommended to search for a recipe that is using egg based cake.
There are 2 rolling methods. One is to roll it first without the filling and let it cool. This method I will not recommend, because the probability for you to break your cake during the application of frosting is high. Another method is normal rolling, where you spread the frosting first and then roll. However, this method will test you on portioning your frosting. You might end up with a good slice or a slice that is too big and thick. So play around with the frosting to find out the best amount needed.
