Raspberry And Rhubarb Swiss Roll Food

RASPBERRY & RHUBARB SWISS ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a 15x10-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line pan with parchment paper. Coat paper with cooking spray. Use a bench scraper to remove air bubbles.
• In a large bowl and using a handheld mixer, beat eggs, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and a dash salt on medium for 2 minutes. Gently increase speed to medium-high; beat 10 minutes or until thick and light in color. This is crucial to reach the viscous stage needed to achieve a springy sponge, so go the whole 10 minutes, longer if necessary.
• Sift flour over egg mixture and gently fold in until no streaks of flour remain. Place 1/3 cup batter in a small bowl. ** Add enough food coloring to tint pink. Place pink batter in a small resealable plastic bag. Snip off one corner. Pipe small circles of batter in a random pattern over bottom of the prepared pan. The circles can all be relatively the same size, or all different sizes. Bake 2 minutes. Spread remaining batter over circles. Bake 8 minutes more or until cake is golden and springs back when lightly touched.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Invert cake onto prepared sheet. Carefully remove parchment from cake. Dust a kitchen towel liberally with powdered sugar. Use parchment to flip cake, pattern side down, onto towel. Roll up cake and towel, starting from a short side. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the filling, in a medium saucepan combine raspberries, rhubarb, and remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Bring to boiling, stirring to break up berries. I use a potato masher to hasten the mashing. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, about 10 minutes or until fruit is very well softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Place in a blender or food processor. Cover and blend until smooth. Press mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. Let fruit puree cool completely.
• In a medium bowl beat cream cheese with a mixer on medium until smooth. Slowly beat in cream until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and the vanilla. Beat until soft peaks form.
• Unroll cake. Spread the fruit puree. This layer will be rather thin. Spread cream mixture evenly over puree. Carefully reroll cake, using towel to help tightly roll. Place seam side down on a platter. Cover and chill at least 2 hours. Before serving, dust liberally with powdered sugar and garnish with additional loose raspberries if desired.
