Easy Microwave Roll Cake Recipe Without an Oven
Make a delicious roll cake easily, even without an oven! ☆ A simple recipe for a delightful roll cake.
For the Roll Cake Mold and Preparation- 1 sheet of thick drawing paper (8-cut size)
- Parchment paper as needed
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the mold for your roll cake. Take a sheet of thick drawing paper (8-cut size) and fold it into a rectangular shape measuring approximately 20cm wide, 20cm long, and 3.5cm high. Line the inside of this mold with parchment paper to prevent the batter from sticking. This method allows you to create a roll cake mold without needing a traditional baking pan.
Step 2
In a clean mixing bowl, place the egg whites. Gradually add Sugar A (30g) in 2-3 additions while whipping until stiff peaks form. It’s crucial to whip until the meringue is firm enough that it holds its shape when the bowl is tilted.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, add the egg yolks and Sugar B (10g). Whip until the mixture turns a pale ivory color and becomes slightly thick. Then, gently fold the stiff meringue from step 1 into the yolk mixture. Be careful not to deflate the meringue; use a spatula to lift from the bottom and fold the mixture over, ensuring it’s mixed gently.
Step 4
Sift the “Baeksul” Cupcake Mix (Chocolate flavor) into the batter from step 2. Again, use your spatula to gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix and deflate the air bubbles. Overmixing can lead to a tough cake.
Step 5
If desired, stir in chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture. This adds a delightful burst of chocolate with every bite.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared mold. Gently tap the mold on a flat surface 2-3 times to release any large air bubbles from the batter. This step helps to create a smooth surface for your roll cake.
Step 7
Place the mold in the microwave and cook on 700W for approximately 5 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage. The cake is done when the surface feels firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Once removed from the microwave, let the roll cake cool slightly in the mold for about 1-2 minutes before attempting to remove it. Removing it while too hot can cause it to break.
Step 9
Carefully remove the roll cake sheet from the mold using the parchment paper. While it’s still warm, gently roll it up using a bamboo mat or a clean kitchen towel. Rolling it while warm helps set the shape as it cools. Leave it rolled until completely cool.
Step 10
Once the roll cake is completely cool, gently unroll it. Whip 40g of heavy cream with Sugar C (10g) until stiff peaks form. Spread this whipped cream evenly over the unrolled cake sheet. Then, carefully re-roll the cake using the bamboo mat or parchment paper, ensuring it’s rolled tightly. Place the rolled cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the cream to set, which will make it easier to slice.
Step 11
Take the chilled roll cake out of the refrigerator, slice it into your desired portions, and serve on a plate. Ta-da! ☆☆ Your no-oven roll cake is ready!
Step 12
While the appearance might be a bit rustic, this microwave roll cake is surprisingly chewy and moist! Enjoy this delicious, homemade dessert made easily at home. ㅎㅎ
