Preparation

How to prepare Raspberry and Coconut Roll

To prepare the raspberry and coconut roll, start by beating the 4 egg yolks with the sugar using an electric whisk 1 until you get a light and frothy mixture. Then add the melted butter 2 and sifted flour 3. Also incorporate the grated coconut and mix to blend the ingredients.

Beat the egg whites until stiff with a pinch of salt and fold them into the mixture 4, stirring gently from bottom to top to avoid deflating them. Butter a 10 x 14-inch baking tray and line it with parchment paper, then butter the parchment paper as well 5; gently spread the mixture on it and try to level it with a spatula without working it too much to avoid deflating the egg whites 6. Bake it in a hot oven at 428 °F for about 8 minutes.

Remove it from the oven and flip it onto a sheet of plastic wrap that you've spread on a damp work surface 7, so that the part stuck to the parchment paper remains facing up. Gently remove the parchment paper and start rolling the cake with the plastic wrap, carefully, making sure not to break it. Seal the plastic wrap well 8 and let the roll cool at room temperature. When the roll has cooled, unroll it carefully 9

and fill it with the raspberry jam 10, arrange the fresh raspberries evenly 11, and roll up the roll again with care 12. Place the raspberry and coconut roll in the refrigerator for about an hour and remove it 10 minutes before enjoying it!
