A beautiful orange swiss roll with a visible cream swirl and powdered sugar dusting.

Classic Orange Swiss Roll

A light and airy citrus sponge cake filled with a zesty whipped cream filling, perfect for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 42 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

4 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 tablespoon orange marmalade

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, greasing the paper lightly.
Step 2: In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks and granulated sugar until thick and pale yellow. Stir in the orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla.
Step 3: Sift the cake flour, baking powder, and salt together, then gently fold into the yolk mixture.
Step 4: In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whites into the batter in three additions until no streaks remain.
Step 5: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the top springs back when touched.
Step 6: Immediately invert the hot cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment and roll the cake and towel together from the narrow end. Let cool completely.
Step 7: Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and marmalade until stiff. Unroll the cooled cake, spread the cream evenly, and roll it back up (without the towel). Chill for 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Ensure the cake is rolled while hot to prevent cracking. Use fresh oranges for the best zest flavor.
