How to Make Hong Kong Style Egg Roll Swiss Roll

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large, non-metal bowl, beat 6 large egg yolks with an electric mixer on medium speed until pale and slightly thickened.
  3. Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar, beating until fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Add 1/2 cup vegetable oil and 1/4 cup milk. Beat until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup cake flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 6 large egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
  7. Gradually add 1/2 cup granulated sugar to the egg whites, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  8. Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the yolk batter to lighten it.
  9. Fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the batter.
  10. Pour batter into an 8x8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. Spread evenly.
  11. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. While the cake is baking, dust a clean kitchen towel generously with powdered sugar.
  13. Once the cake is out of the oven, carefully invert it onto the sugared towel, peeling off the parchment paper.
  14. Roll the cake up tightly with the towel, starting from the short end. Let cool completely.
  15. Once cooled, carefully unroll the cake. Spread your desired filling (whipped cream and/or fruit) evenly over the cake.
  16. Reroll the cake tightly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
