*You will need a 9” square cake pan.
*This recipe was developed for the Micom Toaster Oven (ET-ZLC30). Adjustments may be necessary when using other models.
Make the Sheet Cake. Line the cake pan with aluminum foil and
grease with vegetable oil (not in the ingredients).
Place the rack of the Micom Toaster Oven (ET-ZLC30)
on the upper rail. Turn the Dial to select BAKE. Set the temperature and time
to 375°F for 12 minutes, and press the OK button to begin preheating.
Separate the eggs into yolks and whites.
Place egg yolks, vegetable oil, milk, corn syrup in a bowl and
whisk.
Sift cake flour (and cocoa powder, for chocolate roll cake) into the
yolk mixture and mix in with the whisk. Set aside.
Place egg whites in a separate bowl and whisk. When
egg whites start to foam, add sugar to the bowl and continue whisking to make a
stiff meringue.
Add the
meringue to the batter from step 5 in three steps to retain the foam. First,
add 1/4 of the meringue to the batter and mix well. Second, add 1/2 of the
remaining meringue and fold in gently without deflating, then fold in the remaining meringue in the
same manner.
Pour the batter into the
prepared cake pan and evenly spread.
When preheating
completes, place the cake pan in the oven and press the OK button to start baking.
Be careful of the heated rack.
Use a bamboo skewer to
test doneness. The cake is ready if the skewer comes out clean. When finished,
remove the cake pan. Cover with aluminum foil and allow to rest for about 20
minutes or until completely cooled.
For vanilla roll cake, make vanilla cream. Place heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract and whisk to make whipping cream.
For chocolate roll
cake, make chocolate cream. Place 2 tablespoons of heavy cream and
chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, then microwave for 30 seconds at 1200
watts and stir until the chocolate is completely melted. Microwave more if
necessary. In a separate bowl, whip sugar and remaining heavy cream then
combine with melted chocolate. Set in a refrigerator if it is too soft to
handle.
Uncover
the cooled cake and flip on a piece of plastic wrap and peel off the aluminum
foil lining.
Spread prepared cream
from step 11 on the cake. Cover
entire surface of the cake with the cream and make slightly thicker at the
center. Roll up using plastic wrap, set in the refrigerator for a minimum
two hours.
Remove the plastic wrap,
and dust powdered sugar (or cocoa powder for chocolate roll cake) with tea
strainer.
Slice in 5-6 pieces.
Enjoy!
Decoration Idea:

design, then dust with powdered sugar or cocoa powder.
