Steps
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Separate the yolks from the whites into 2 bowls. In the bowl with the yolks, add sugar and beat until creamy with an electric mixer. Add the oil and, while still using the mixer, also pour in the water. Gradually add the flour with a sieve and incorporate it into the batter. Beat the egg whites until stiff and gently fold them into the batter using a spatula.
Pour the mixture onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, level it well, and bake in the middle of the oven. Bake for 13 minutes then remove from the oven, sprinkle with a little sugar, and flip it onto another sheet of parchment paper. Trim 1 cm from the edges and 10 cm from the longer side, these will be cut into cubes.
Break the chocolate into pieces in a bowl and melt it in the microwave or in a bain-marie. Add the mascarpone and mix until creamy. With the cherry syrup, moisten the base, spread half of the cream, and place chopped cherries (ensure no pits are present).
Using the parchment paper, form the roll and spread the remaining cream around it. Cover with the sponge cake cubes and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Decorate with some cherries as desired.
Storage
The Mimosa Roll with Cream and Cherries should be kept cool and consumed within 2 – 3 days
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
What can be used instead of cherries?
You can use canned peaches cut into pieces and use the syrup to moisten.
Is baking powder not used?
Since it is like a sponge cake, it is not needed; in this recipe, it is not included, but if you want, you can use it. I have added it in some rolls.
