 Hey guys!

It has been a while since last time I made a cake roll! I finally have another swiss roll recipe for you. A combination between pavlova cake and cake roll. It is so light, fluffy and addicting!

I usually make Pavlova cake at least once during summer. But this summer I decided to go a different route – try to make a Pavlova roll.

Named after a Russian ballerina, there is a controversy around the origin of this dessert, so I wouldn’t call it Russian, since there are stories claiming that the creator was from New Zealand. It really doesn’t matter to me. The truth is that I love this cake, but very rarely make it. It tastes so good and it is best, when consumed right away.

Crunchy shell and chewy inside, this si the best way to describe the texture of Pavlova. Topped with whipped cream and fruit.

This Pavlova Cake Roll doesn’t have the same crunch as Pavlova cake, since it will easily break, when you stert rollig it. I also chose a filling, that sets in the fridge, so the cake roll holds its shape.

I used this whipped cream cheese filling in this recipe, but you can also use my mascarpone whipped cream, if you’d like. I also added some Gran Marnier, for citrusy flavor.

Instructions

  8. Turn Pavlova onto the parchment paper
  9. Spread filling onto the Pavlova Roll. Using the parchment paper and towel, roll Pavlova.

Recipe Notes

Pavlova cakes do best when served right away. They do get soft and soggy if placed in the fridge.
