Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup cake flour
• 1/4 cup black sesame paste
• 1/4 cup coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon coconut milk (for filling)
• 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds (for garnish)

How to Make Creamy Coconut and Black Sesame Roll Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture is thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
3. Gently fold in the cake flour, baking powder, and black sesame paste until just combined, being careful not to deflate the batter.
4. Stir in the coconut milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly pressed.
6. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Carefully invert it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
7. Peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake tightly in the towel from one short end. Let it cool completely while rolled up.
8. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form. Add in the coconut milk and shredded coconut, mixing gently until combined.
9. Once the cake has cooled, unroll it gently and spread the creamy filling evenly over the surface.
10. Roll the cake back up without the towel, wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
11. Before serving, drizzle with extra coconut milk and sprinkle with black sesame seeds for garnish.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure that your eggs are at room temperature for better volume and texture.
• Be gentle when folding the batter to maintain its lightness.
• Allow the cake to cool completely before filling to prevent the filling from melting.
• Use a serrated knife to slice the roll cake for clean edges.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the black sesame paste for tahini for a different nutty flavor.
• Add a layer of fresh fruit, like sliced strawberries or mango, to the filling for added freshness.
• Drizzle with a chocolate sauce for a decadent twist.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of coconut sorbet for a refreshing contrast.
• Fresh fruits like berries or pineapple for a tropical touch.
• A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
