Raspberry Jam Swiss Roll

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

A beautiful, light and fluffy sponge cake filled with a delectable, organic, raspberry jam, shaped into a lovely swiss roll.

Happy Mother's day Mamma! Sorry that I am so so far away from you. If I was closer, at least in the same continent, I would definitely bring you this Raspberry Jam Swissย Roll and we would eat itย on the terrace with a nice cup of tea. ย I know raspberry jam is one of your favorites, as it is mine, and I know how much you likeย swiss rolls, the chocolate oneย being our weekness. I made the cake like you taught me to, with egg yolksย and sugar wellย beated together (we call it Pan di Spagna) and it came out as it should be: soft andย spongy, like angel food.

 

 

I made it thinking of you and our nice time in the kitchen, cooking and baking together. I miss those times, you know. But I only had happy thoughts while baking. You can affect food with your mood and emotion, I always remember that. In a passage from "Like Water for Chocolate", Tita's emotions come through in the food she prepares.ย When she cries into the cake batter while making Pedro's wedding cake, the people who eat the cake suddenly feel the same heartbreak, loss and longing, they begin to weep and some even get sick. No one wants that for the food they prepare. You want to transmit the love that you put in your food for people who eat it. That's the beauty of it.

And love I want to transmit through this cake.ย Itย is not a difficult cake to make, itย only requires some patience and delicacy when rolling it onto its form. A wet towel is a great helpย indeed. You'll be so proud of yourselves when everything comes together and the swiss rollย looks simply beautiful. It made me so incredibly happy. Love the sponginess, color and airiness of the cake, love the beautiful touch ofย color of the raspberry jam, an organic one from another great local producer, The Jam Lady.

But if you want, you can spread Nutella, or better yet, an organicย chocolate hazelnut cream on the swiss roll. That's what we do sometimes.

A sprinkle of icing sugar on top and it's good to go for our Mother's day celebration at my mother in law's.

But I'll make you one, mamma, when I come in the summer. Love you!
