Description
A refreshing and decadent dessert featuring a soft sponge cake rolled with cream cheese frosting and tart raspberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cup shelled pistachios
- 6 large eggs (at room temp)
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (for dusting)
- 2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen, thawed)
- 1/4 cup white granulated sugar (optional)
- 16 oz cream cheese (2 packages)
- 3 cups heavy cream (well chilled)
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
- Fresh raspberries, mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- Whip the room temperature eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture doubles in volume and turns a pale yellow, about 5-7 minutes with a hand mixer on high speed.
- Fold in the vanilla extract, pistachios, flour, and baking powder gently.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan with your offset spatula, smoothing the top evenly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cake springs back when touched.
- Turn the cake out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar, gently peel off the parchment paper, and while it’s still hot, roll it up tightly in the towel. Allow it to cool completely.
- Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add the powdered sugar and heavy cream, whipping until soft peaks form.
- Toss your raspberries with the optional granulated sugar to enhance sweetness.
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread the cream cheese frosting evenly across the surface, followed by the layer of raspberries.
- Roll the cake up tightly but gently, seam-side down.
- Dust with powdered sugar before slicing and garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves.
