Chocolate Swiss Roll With Bailey

Posted in Cake, Chocolate, Christmas, Dessert, tagged , , , , , , , on February 8, 2026|

I have baked this Chocolate Swiss Roll with Bailey several times over the holidays and I’ve learned a lot. I tried using dark chocolate in the Cream filling, but that was a mistake, because it lacked the smooth, sweet, silkiness of the milk chocolate. I am also inclined to say that the Bailey taste a little boozy to me and that I would almost prefer it without the Bailey and simply just as a delicious Chocolate Swiss Roll.

This recipe calls for an odd size baking sheet, which I did not have, so I simply just spread the batter out to the approximate size recommended and it worked out fine. Word of advice, do not over-bake this cake.

Chocolate Cream with Bailey

1 gelatin sheet (roughly 1 teaspoon gelatin powder)

3 deciliter heavy whipping cream (10.5 oz)

1 deciliter Bailey (3.5 oz)

300 gram milk chocolate, chopped (10.6 oz)

Swiss Roll Cake

5 eggs, room temperature

125 gram sugar (4.4 oz)

1 teaspoon vanilla sugar

100 gram all-purpose flour (3.5 oz)

30 gram unsweetened cocoa powder (1.1 oz)

1 teaspoon baking powder

a pinch of salt

Directions

Chocolate Bailey Cream filling: Place gelatin sheet in cold water for 10 minutes. Warm cream and Bailey up in a small cooking pot till just below simmering, remove from heat. Squeeze water out of gelatin sheet and place into the hot cream. Stir well until gelatin is completely melted. Pour the warm cream through a sieve and then over the chopped chocolate. Stir chocolate until smooth and pour through a sieve again to remove any clumps of unmelted chocolate. Pour chocolate into a bowl, cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours. After refrigeration the chocolate cream will still be a little thin.

Swiss Roll Cake: Line a 26×36 cm (10×15 inch) baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350 degree F (175 degree C). Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla sugar on high until pale and thick (5-10 minutes). Stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Sift flour mixture into beaten eggs and gently fold it in only until incorporated. Pour batter onto baking sheet and gently spread out dough. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Do not over-bake, cake should spring back when touched in the center.

Once cake is out of the oven and still hot, sprinkle a thin layer of sugar over cake. Place a new piece of parchment over the cake/baking sheet and invert cake/baking sheet onto your counter top. Carefully peel off old parchment paper. While still hot, start at the short edge and use the new parchment paper to help you roll up the cake. Once starting to roll, keep a firm grip on the cake (as if you were making Sushi) to get a tight roll. Once the cake is rolled up, finish by rolling the parchment paper around the cake and then roll the tea towel around the parchment paper. Let it cool completely.

Swiss Roll Assembly: Whip Chocolate Bailey Cream filling on high for 5-8 minutes or until thick. Unroll Swiss Roll cake and spread cream evenly over cake. Gently re-roll the cake. Decorate as desired and refrigerate. Enjoy!

Hindbærroulade – Raspberry Swiss Roll

Hindbærroulade – Raspberry Swiss Roll

Roulade is one of my (many) favorite cakes and my mother used to make a fantastic roulade with a raspberry cream. I wanted to make some version of her cake and this is what I came up with.

Roulade can be a very intimidating dessert to make, I know I felt a bit anxious about it myself. I did a lot of research online and planned my adventure for weeks. It turns out that there are numerous techniques out there on how to roll the cake without it cracking. Some choose to cover the cake with a moist clean tea towel while it cools and the roll it, some brush it with a liqueur or simple syrup, allow to cool and then roll it. I choose to roll it while still hot, allow to cool, unroll, apply wet ingredients and re-roll. It worked out really great. Use the parchment paper to help you roll the cake while it’s hot and get a good grip on the cake, as if you were rolling sushi. If the cake is tightly rolled, it’s easy to cut and it looks great. This turned out to be a really fun project, not to mention delicious.

Make sure to beat eggs for a full 10 minutes. Sift and fold in dry ingredient. Flip baked cake onto sugared parchment paper.

Use paper to help roll the warm cake along short edge. Get a good grip. Wrap in paper and tea towel, allow to cool.

Gently unroll cooled cake, apply wet ingredients, re-roll. Place seam-side down.

Hindbærroulade – Raspberry Swiss Roll

Ingredients:

For the cake:

3 large eggs

125 g sugar (4.4 oz) (3/4 cup)

60 g flour (2.1 oz) (1/2 cup)

60 g cornstarch (2.1 oz) (1/2 cup)

1 tsp. baking powder

For the filling:

Raspberry sauce or your favorite marmalade

225 ml heavy whipping cream (1 cup) (1/2 pint)

1 1/2 tbs. confectioners sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to  390 degrees F   [200 degrees C]

Make Raspberry Sauce, if using, and set aside to cool.

Line a 26×36 cm (10×15 inch) baking sheet with parchment paper. Place eggs and sugar in the bowel of an electrical mixer and mix on high-speed for 10 minutes until eggs are pale and thick. Mix dry ingredients in a small bowel and sift over egg mixture. Gently fold in the dry ingredients, careful not to deflate the dough by over mixing. Pour batter onto baking sheet and gently spread out dough into all corners. Bake for 8-10 minutes until light golden. Do not over-bake, cake should spring back when touched in the center.

Place a clean tea towel on table top and lay a second piece of parchment paper on top. Sprinkle parchment paper generously with sugar. Once cake is out of the oven and still hot, flip cake out of baking sheet onto new sugared parchment paper. Carefully peel off old parchment paper. While still hot, start at the short edge and use the parchment paper to help you roll up the cake. Once starting to roll, keep a firm grip on the cake (as if you were making Sushi) to get a tight roll. Once the cake is rolled up, finish by rolling the parchment paper around the cake and then roll the tea towel around the parchment paper. Let it cool completely.

Whip whipping cream and confectioner’s sugar until it starts to thicken a little, set aside. Once cake is cooled, gently unroll. Spread a thin layer of Raspberry Sauce or marmalade out over the entire cake. Next spread a thin layer of the whipped cream. Gently roll the cake back up again with the parchment paper and store in refrigerator until ready to serve, seam side down. Enjoy.
