Roll "5 spoons"

90 minutes

The '5 spoons' roll is a refined dessert of European cuisine that captivates with its lightness and tenderness. The name reflects the simplicity of its preparation since the key ingredients—flour, sugar, butter—are added in exactly five spoons each. This recipe draws inspiration from traditional sponge rolls but gains a special zest thanks to the refreshing orange cream. The light citrus aroma and subtle notes of white chocolate make it an exquisite treat perfect for evening tea or festive tables. The sponge is soft and delicate with light air bubbles, while the cream is silky with a pleasant tanginess. The finished roll becomes even tastier after cooling as it absorbs flavors and textures. The powdered sugar on the surface adds extra elegance to this delicate dessert, making it ideal for cozy home evenings as well as formal events.
