Steps
Preheat the static oven to 350°F. Separate the egg yolks from the whites into two bowls. In the bowl with the yolks, add the sugar and beat with the whisk until creamy. Add the oil and, still using the whisk, pour in the water.
Gradually sift the flour into the mixture and incorporate it with the whisk. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and fold them into the mix little by little, using a spatula in a gentle upward motion to avoid deflating them. Pour the batter into a 11 x 13 inch rectangular baking pan lined with parchment paper, level it, and bake in the middle of the oven. Let it cook for 13 minutes, making sure it doesn’t brown too much.
Place the biscuit dough on the work surface with the parchment paper underneath. Spread the entire surface with hazelnut cream and cut into strips along the longer side. Take one strip at a time and roll it onto itself, continuing to roll onto this one with the others. Carefully take the entire roll and place the Swiss roll cake onto the serving plate.
In a bowl, whip the very cold cream and once whipped, spread it all over the cake, on top and around, leveling it well. Decorate the cake with raspberries and berries and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Keep in the fridge until serving.
Storage
Due to the cream, the Swiss Roll Cake with Cream and Berries should be stored in the refrigerator
