Black Sesame Swiss Roll

Step 1

Preheat oven at 180 deg C. Line 10 x 11 inch baking tray with parchment paper or a 10 x 10 inch square tray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix egg yolks, vanilla extract, sugar, cooking oil and fresh milk together with a hand whisk, mix well. Sift in flours and black sesame powder, mix well again.

Step 3

Meringue - Whisk egg whites to foamy and add sugar in 3-4 batches, continue to whisk egg white to glossy and peaks form.

Step 4

Fold ⅓ of egg whites into the yolk mixture with a rubber spatula. Then pour in the remaining egg whites, gently fold before the next until just combined.

Step 5

Pour batter into prepared tray and spread out with a rubber spatula. Gently tap the tray to release air bubbles. Bake in preheated oven at 180 deg C for about 15 minutes. Remove cake from pan, remove the parchment paper and leave to cool.

Step 6

Filling - Combine black sesame paste and milk together and blend well. Whisk fresh topping cream to peak form and fold together with the black sesame paste with a rubber spatula. Spread black sesame cream on to sponge cake. Gently roll up the sponge cake to make a Swiss roll and chill it for a few hours or overnight.

Trim the sides of the cake roll. Use piping bag fitted with Wilton nozzle star tip 1M  and pipe the remaining black sesame mousse on top of cake before serving.
