Ingredients
Scale
- 3 Eier
- 1 Eigelb
- 150 g Zucker
- 1 Pck. Vanillezucker
- 100 g Mehl
- 25 g Speisestärke
- 1 TL, gestrichen Backpulver
- 20 g Kakaopulver
- 1 EL Wasser
- 250 g Erdbeeren (Johannisbeeren, Brombeeren, Himbeeren alternativ)
- 200 g Joghurt, Erdbeerjoghurt (oder die entsprechende Sorte)
- 600 g Schlagsahne
- 2 Pck. Sahnesteif
- 50 g Zucker
- 6 Erdbeeren, halbiert (zum Verzieren)
- Zitronenmelisse (zum Verzieren)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220°C for top/bottom heat (or 200°C for fan oven, or gas mark 4-5). Prepare a baking sheet approximately 30×40 cm by greasing it and lining it with baking paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 whole eggs and 1 egg yolk. Using a hand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs on the highest speed for 1 minute until the mixture becomes frothy and slightly thickened.
- Gradually add 150 g of sugar mixed with 1 packet of vanilla sugar to the eggs while continuing to beat. Continue whisking for another 2 minutes until the mixture is pale, creamy, and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 100 g flour, 25 g cornstarch (Speisestärke), and 1 level teaspoon of baking powder. Sift half of this dry mixture into the egg and sugar mixture and gently fold it in at medium speed with the mixer until just combined. Then add the remaining dry mixture and fold it in the same way, ensuring a smooth batter without overmixing.
- Transfer about two-thirds of the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it smoothly to cover the surface. Carefully fold the baking paper at the open edge of the baking sheet towards the batter to create a small rim or border around the batter to prevent spreading.
- Take the remaining one-third of the batter and gently fold in 20 g of cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon of water until fully combined, creating a chocolate batter. Put this chocolate batter into a piping bag or a plastic freezer bag with a small corner cut off.
- Pipe zebra-like stripes of the chocolate batter onto the light-colored batter on the baking sheet, creating a striped pattern resembling a zebra’s coat.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes. The cake should rise slightly and be springy to the touch. Avoid overbaking to keep it soft and pliable.
- Immediately after baking, invert the sponge cake onto a kitchen towel that has been sprinkled generously with sugar. Carefully peel off the baking paper from the sponge, then allow the cake to cool completely while covered with the towel to keep it moist.
- While the sponge cools, prepare the filling. Wash 250 g of berries gently and let them drain. Hull and cut the strawberries into small pieces. Reserve 6 whole or halved strawberries (or equivalent berries) for decoration.
- Remove the baking paper from the cooled sponge cake. Spread 200 g of yogurt (preferably strawberry-flavored or matching the berries used) evenly over the surface of the sponge.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip 600 g of heavy cream together with 50 g sugar and 2 packets of whipping stabilizer (Sahnesteif) until stiff peaks form. Reserve a small portion of this whipped cream in a piping bag for decoration.
- Fold the chopped berries gently into the remaining whipped cream, taking care not to deflate the mixture.
- Spread the berry and cream mixture evenly over the yogurt layer on the sponge cake.
- Starting from the longer side of the sponge, carefully roll the cake up into a tight Swiss roll shape, using the towel to help lift and roll it without cracking.
- Wrap the roll in plastic wrap or place it in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 to 3 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the roll to set.
- Just before serving, pipe 12 small rosettes of the reserved whipped cream evenly along the top of the roll. Place a halved strawberry or a whole small berry on each whipped cream dollop.
- Garnish the roll with fresh lemon balm (Zitronenmelisse) leaves to add a fresh aroma and attractive finish.
Notes
This zebra roll tastes delicious not only with strawberries but also with raspberries, blackberries, or red currants; simply use the corresponding flavored yogurt. The roll can be prepared the day before, making it ideal for events or gatherings.
