What do you need to make this delicious fluffy Japanese Roll Cake?

- egg yolks
- sugar

- milk – I used whole milk
- whipping cream

- Fruits – I prefer strawberry

Why my Japanese Roll Cake cracked, sticky, or the skin peels off?
This is such a good question! I myself have failed many times. The reasons are:
- You didn’t bake the cake long enough, so there’s too much moisture in the cake.
- The cake is over baked so it dries out and will be cracked when you roll up the cake.
- You didn’t let the cake too cool down enough or the cake is too cold to roll.
You probably think, “how do I know if I am doing it right?” That was also my question when I first started. You will need to be friends with your oven and know what temperature works for this recipe. Remember, practice makes perfect.
Pro tip pf making this Fluffy Japanese Roll cake:
After the cake base is out of the oven, touch the surface to feel if it’s baked enough. A good chiffon sponge cake should be moist to touch but not sticky. I always let the cake cool down at room temperature for 8 minutes. Yup, I time it!
