Ingredients
  

For the Cake

  • 40 g Corn oil
  • 40 g Milk
  • 45 g Low-gluten flour
  • 10 g Red velvet liquid
  • 4 Eggs separate whites and yolks
  • 30 g Powdered sugar

For the Filling

  • 400 g Heavy cream chilled
  • 28 g White sugar
  • Fresh strawberries for filling and decoration
  • A small amount of Shredded coconut optional
  • A small amount of Heavy cream for decoration

Instructions
 

Prepare the Red Velvet Sponge Cake

  • Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
  • In a large bowl, combine the corn oil and milk. Stir until emulsified (no oil floating on the surface).
  • Sift the low-gluten flour into the mixture and add the red velvet liquid. Mix well.
  • Separate the egg whites and yolks. Add the egg yolks to the red velvet mixture and stir until smooth.
  • In a separate, clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with powdered sugar using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. The peaks should bend slightly when you lift the beater.
  • Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  • Pour the batter into a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Tap the pan to release air bubbles and smooth the surface with a spatula.
  • Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the surface springs back when gently pressed. Once baked, invert the cake onto a cooling rack, peel off the parchment paper, and allow it to cool.

Make the Whipped Cream Filling

  • In a chilled bowl, add the heavy cream and white sugar. Use an electric mixer to whip the cream until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overwhip it.
  • Once the cake has cooled, lay it flat on a piece of fresh parchment paper. Spread an even layer of whipped cream over the surface of the cake.
  • Then pipe two lines of cream at about one-third of the cake.
  • Arrange fresh strawberries in the middle, then pipe additional cream over the strawberries. Use a spatula to smooth it out.

Roll the Cake

  • Carefully lift the edges of the parchment paper and start rolling the cake tightly, making sure the filling stays in place.
  • Once rolled, wrap the Swiss roll tightly in the parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to set.

Decorate the Swiss Roll

  • After chilling, remove the parchment paper and place the roll on a serving plate.
  • Cut the cake into suitable-sized pieces.
  • Spread a thin layer of whipped cream on top. Use a piping bag to decorate with whipped cream flowers or rosettes.
  • Place fresh strawberries on top and sprinkle with shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor. The festive red velvet Swiss roll is now ready to serve!
