Today it is my first time to try to make this kind of cake. Here we call it as Swiss roll and perhaps it has nothing to do with Switzerland. I don't know what it has such kind of name. Perhaps "Swiss" sounds like "Sweet" and it is supposed to be Sweet roll?

I am glad that I made it successfully even if it seems the cutting is not so perfect

In fact it has nothing to do with Switzerland, it was invented in Austria, it's a sponge cake with a filling. Your Swiss rolls looks good, I often make one adding chopped hazelnuts to the sponge cake paste and I fill with whipped cream.

I will buy the bow-like tool to cut the Swiss roll and next time it will look better

Congrats, it looks perfect for me

. It is supposed to have been invented in Central Europe during the 19th C, probably in Austria, although these rolls look like a simplified recipe of the Christmas log which is a French invention, also from the 19th C.

It's called Swiss roll in Australia too and I know it is quite tricky to make. Yours look pretty good to me.

I just found it is not easy to roll it very well but other parts are not very difficult

@JudyEv I used the oil paper to wrap it aand then put it into the fridge for a while. After the shape is done, I will take it out and unroll and add the cream. I still need more practice

@youless My Mum used to roll it up in a wet tea-towel for a while then unroll it and add the filling.
