Jam Roll recipe | Jam Swiss Roll | Indian mixed fruit jam roll |
The Jam Roll, also known as a Jam Swiss Roll, is a delightful and visually appealing confection that is loved by people of all ages. Its unique spiral shape, created by rolling a soft sponge cake around a layer of vibrant fruit jam, makes it an irresistible treat. This classic dessert has a delicate and dainty appearance that makes it a perfect snack for tea time or a simple yet elegant addition to any party platter. The appeal of a jam roll lies in its charming presentation, allowing you to see the colorful, fruity filling encased within the soft cake.
The Perfect Texture: A Traditional Recipe
This traditional Jam Roll recipe is made with a few simple ingredients to achieve a wonderfully soft and airy texture. The key to its melt-in-the-mouth quality lies in the meticulous preparation of the egg and castor sugar mixture, which must be beaten until it is light and fluffy. This creates a sponge cake that is both tender and resilient, making it easy to roll without cracking. The baking process is quick, ensuring the cake remains moist and pliable, a crucial factor for achieving the perfect spiral shape. The result is a sponge that is light as a feather, providing the perfect canvas for the sweet jam filling.
The Sweet and Fruity Filling
The soul of this Indian-style Jam Roll lies in its filling: a generous layer of mixed fruit jam. The sweet and tangy flavors of the jam pair beautifully with the mild flavor of the sponge cake. As the jam is applied evenly across the cake before rolling, it infuses the entire dessert with an awesome fruity aroma and flavor. A light sprinkling of powdered sugar on the outside adds a final touch of sweetness and gives the roll a beautiful, elegant finish. The combination of the sweet cake, the fruity jam, and the hint of sugar makes every bite a delightful experience.
A Simple and Rewarding Baking Process
Creating a homemade Jam Roll is a surprisingly simple and rewarding baking project. It requires basic kitchen tools and a few common ingredients. The process begins by greasing an aluminum tin and preparing the egg mixture. Once the light batter is baked, the cake is carefully inverted and rolled with the jam. The rolling technique is a gentle art; you need to apply just enough pressure to create the tight spiral without tearing the cake. The final step involves slicing the roll into equal portions with a sharp knife, revealing the beautiful spiral pattern inside.
Serving and Enjoying the Jam Roll
Jam rolls are best served fresh, allowing you to enjoy their soft, moist texture and full flavor. They can be enjoyed on their own as a sweet snack or served alongside a cup of tea or coffee. While they are delightful when eaten immediately after preparation, they can also be refrigerated for a short time. Their charming look and delicious taste make them a fantastic choice for a quick dessert or a comforting treat. With its straightforward method and delicious results, the Jam Roll is a timeless classic that continues to bring joy to every table.

Hi, This is a tried and tested recipe in our kitchen. Please can you tell us where did you face the problem, we would be more than happy to help you and get the product right. The batter will be little liquidy as the flour is very less and the cake is very light and airy. Do revert back for queries.
