A couple of days ago I was trying to come up with a cake to bake for Easter. I wanted something creamy and fruity and easy to make. So I thought. Hey! Why not make a swiss roll with a blueberry biscuit base, a creamy vanilla pudding filling infused with strawberries and a cream cheese frosting. It sounds like a lot of work but it is totally worth it! The perfect spring cake that fits well into the easter celebrations.

Ingredients, makes 15 pieces
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 pack of vanilla pudding
- 6 oz (175g) sugar
- 2 cups (500ml) milk
- 3.5 oz (100g) blueberry (fresh or frozen)
- 3 eggs (separate egg yolk from egg white)
- a pinch of salt
- 4 tablespoons of flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3.5 oz (100g) butter, room temperature
- 7 oz (200g) cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon icing sugar
- Strawberries and easter chocolate eggs to decorate
Preparation (60 minutes)
- Preheat the oven to 380 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celcius.
Filling
- Mix vanilla pudding powder, 1.5 oz (50g) of sugar and 1/3 cup (75ml) of milk.
- Heat the rest of the milk in a pot and bring to a boil.
- Once the milk starts to boil, add in the vanilla pudding mixture and continue stirring until a nice thick pudding texture develops.
- Transfer into a bowl and let it cool down to room temperature.
Swiss roll batter
- Whisk egg white with salt.
- Slowly add in 1 oz (25g) sugar and continue whisking until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, whisk egg yolk with 1 oz (25g) sugar until nice and creamy.
- Mix in the blueberry puree, flour, cornstarch, and 1/3 of the whipped egg white.
- Gently fold in the rest of the whipped egg white.
- Pour batter onto a 12″ by 17.5″ baking tray and bake at 360 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
- Once the biscuit base is done, take it out of the form and place it onto a dish towel and roll it up and let it cool down.
Filling and decorating biscuit base
- In the meantime, finish the filling, and beat butter until nice and creamy.
- Add in the pudding mass and spread it on the unrolled biscuit base once this has cooled down.
- Cut one big strawberry into tiny cubes, and sprinkle it onto the cream.
- Roll up biscuit base again and cool for 2 hours.
- For the frosting, whisk 7 oz (200g) of cream cheese with a tablespoon of icing sugar and spread onto the biscuit roll.
- Decorate with fruits and chocolate (I used strawberries and chocolate easter eggs).
Enjoy!
