Delightful Coconut Almond Roulade for Celebrations

Festive Coconut Almond Roulade made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 100 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 50 g unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 50 g almond flour
  • 150 g cream cheese
  • 50 g powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp coconut milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with sugar and vanilla until pale and fluffy.
  • Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture, followed by the sifted flour, baking powder, and shredded coconut.
  • Pour the batter into a lined baking tray and smooth the surface.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden and springy to touch.
  • Invert the cake onto a clean tea towel dusted with powdered sugar.
  • Roll the cake gently with the towel and let it cool completely.
  • While the cake cools, prepare the filling by whisking cream cheese, powdered sugar, and coconut milk until smooth.
  • Unroll the cooled cake carefully and spread the filling evenly over the surface.
  • Re-roll the cake without the towel and wrap in plastic wrap.
  • Chill the roulade for at least one hour before slicing.
