Chiffon-style Swiss roll cake is filled with creamy and lightly sweetened whipped cream flavored with mangoes. It is an absolutely delicious and light cake you will enjoy eating.
Soft Fluffy Mango Cream Swiss Roll Cake

Though we don’t get the best mangoes here, whenever mangoes go on sale, I still get them. I love mangoes and with my baking addiction, I usually get them especially for baking 🙂 I have made quite a bit of cake and dessert using mangoes but the collection is not complete if I don’t add a roll cake 🙂

The recipe rundown

Taste: The right amount of sweetness with intense taste and aroma of mango
Texture: Since I use chiffon-style to make this Swiss roll, the cake is soft, fluffy, and airy in texture
Level: Intermediate
Soft Fluffy Mango Cream Swiss Roll Cake

How to make mango cream Swiss roll cake (chiffon style)

1. Cut close to the stone on 4 sides. Use the pointy part of the knife to cut criss-cross on the surface

2. Flip the mango up and use the knife to scrape the bottom part to release the mango cubes. Save about 1 cup for filling and about 8 cubes for decoration. You can puree the rest. You will need 60 grams for the cake batter and 45 grams for the whipped cream

3. Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks, oil, sugar, mango puree, and milk until combined

4. Sift in the cake flour, and salt. Whisk to mix until combined and no lumps


5. Place egg whites in a mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whisk until foamy on medium speed and then whip until foamy and add vinegar and whip again for another minute then and 1/3 of the sugar and continue to add sugar until you use it all up. Whip until the egg white develops a medium-soft peak. When you lift the meringue up it will hold up its shape a bit but still at the soft side and the tail will bend. Do not whip until stiff peak. The cake will crack when you roll it later

6. Fold about 1/3 of the meringue into the egg yolk batter using a whisk to gently fold and mix and continue to fold in the next 1/3.

7. On the last 1/3, use a rubber spatula and use the swipe down fold over motion to make sure you scrape the bottom of the bowl so that no cake batter left underneath

8. The batter should be light, fluffy, silky and smooth. You shouldn’t see any more white meringue. The batter should be a pourable consistency

9. Pour the batter into the pan and use a rubber spatula to help to spread evenly. Give the pan a little jiggle to even out the batter. You can use a dough scraper to help you even out the surface too if necessary

10. Gently tap the baking sheet on your working surface several times to pop any air bubbles. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 F (180 C) for 30 minutes and then switch to convection mode (fan mode) and bake for another 3-4 minutes or until the top is golden brown and dry to touch. If you don’t have convection mode, bake another 5 minutes and check to make sure the top is golden brown and dry to touch. It is important that the top is dry to touch so this layer won’t peel off when you roll later

11. Put the heavy whipping cream, mango puree,and icing sugar in a mixing bowl. Use a mixer to whip until it is medium stiff. Don’t whip it all the way stiff. Cover and keep it chilled in the refrigerator. Save about 1/3 cup to pipe the whipped cream on top for decor if you like
12. Remove the cake from the oven and then lift it out from the pan immediately to a cooling rack and peel off the parchment paper from 4 sides. This helps to prevent wrinkles on the surface. Let it cools down like this for 5-6 minutes (I use a timer to actually time it)

13. After 5-6 minutes. Place a new piece of parchment paper, larger than the cake, on top of the cake and flip over to the other side

14. Peel off the parchment paper

15. Use a serrated knife to trim about 1/4-inch of the 4 edges. This makes rolling the cake easier because the edges are usually crusty and hard

16. Decide if you will roll from the long side or short side. Use a serrated knife to trim about 1/4-inch of the 4 edges from the side you will start rolling. This makes rolling the cake easier

17. Put the mango cream on the middle of the cake and spread it out a bit, but there’s no need to spread the cream on the entire surface of the cake (refer to photo above). Put some cubes of mango on top of the cream

18. Very gently use one hand to lift the parchment paper up to help you roll the cake up until you reach the other side

19. Tighten the roll up by pulling the parchment paper at the bottom and tucking in the paper on top using the dough scraper

20. Now, most people will keep it rolled in parchment paper this way and store it in the fridge to let it chills for 2-3 hours before slicing. I don’t want to do that because the skin will peel right off after that. The condensation will form and makes the skin wet

21. Remove parchment paper. Very gently place the cake on the serving plate you plan to serve. You can seal both ends with a bit of mango cream. This helps to prevent the cake from drying. Loosely tent with parchment paper, not touching the surface of the cake. Store in the fridge for at least 1 hour before you plan to cut the cake. I keep it in the fridge like this until the next day and the cake is perfectly moist and the skin is intact

Tips

1. Avoid beating the meringue until a stiff peak when you make a Swiss roll. The cake will crack when you roll it later. The meringue should be medium-stiff
2. The top of the cake needs to be baked until golden brown and dry to touch or it will peel off when you roll the cake
3. Make sure the bowl you use to whip the cream and heavy whipping cream are chilled in the fridge before whipping

Variations

You can swap the mangoes with other fruit such as berries, kiwis, peaches.

Delicious cake but what I appreciated most was the thorough instructions. This is the first time I’ve made a cake roll that didn’t crack and the skin stayed intact. Thank you.
