This Coffee Swiss Roll is a light, fluffy sponge rolled with a rich coffee cream filling and flecked with finely chopped chocolate-covered espresso beans. Perfect for coffee lovers and special occasions.

  • Total Time: 32 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 8

Ingredients

4 large eggs

140g caster sugar, plus 1 tbsp for dusting

140g plain flour

1 tbsp very strong brewed coffee or a single espresso shot, cooled

Cocoa powder, for dusting

250ml double cream

35g icing sugar, sifted

1–2 tbsp very strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled (for filling)

15g chocolate-covered coffee beans, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C Fan/Gas 6. Grease and line a 33x23cm swiss roll tin with parchment paper.
  2. Sift flour into a bowl. In another bowl, whisk eggs and caster sugar with electric beaters for 8 minutes until thick and pale. Gently fold in the cooled coffee and flour without deflating the mixture.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared tin, spreading it evenly. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden and springy to the touch.
  4. While baking, place a clean parchment sheet on a work surface and dust it with caster sugar. Once the sponge is baked, invert it onto the sugared parchment, remove the tin and the lining paper, then score a line 1.5cm from one short end. Roll the sponge from this end using the parchment, and let it cool in a rolled-up shape.
  5. Prepare the filling: Whip cream with icing sugar and coffee until soft peaks form. Fold in chopped chocolate coffee beans. Chill until ready to use.
  6. Unroll the cooled sponge, spread the coffee cream evenly, avoiding the scored edge. Gently roll it back up and place seam-side down. Dust with cocoa powder, trim edges if desired, and serve.

Notes

  • Don’t overbake the sponge to avoid cracks—10–12 minutes is just right.
  • Roll the sponge immediately after baking to help it keep its shape.
  • Use freshly brewed strong coffee or espresso for the best flavor.
  • Try variations like adding cocoa to the sponge or folding in toasted walnuts for a twist.
