Strawberry Swiss Roll

This is my first attempt of making swiss roll. The result is not very good. The cake shrank quite a bit and it became dense. It's a little bit sweet for my tastebud. But I think it is a workable recipe (adapted from http://www.anncoojournal.com/2011/07/strawberry-swiss-roll.html - the roll looks very nice here), guess I just need to improve my skill.


INGREDIENTS:
  • 70g cake flour
  • 20g sugar (perhaps I should reduce the sugar amount here)
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 30g cooking oil
  • 30g soy milk
  • 1tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 egg whites
  • 50g sugar
  • Strawberry jam
METHOD:
  1. Prepare a 11 x 11 (or 10 x 10) inch baking tray, line with parchment paper or baking sheet, grease some oil on it with a brush. 
  2. In a large bowl, mix egg yolks, vanilla extract, sugar (20g) , cooking oil and fresh milk together with a hand whisk, mix well and add in sifted flour, mix well again, set aside.
  3. Whisk egg white to foamy and add sugar (50g), continue to whisk egg white to stiff peak form at medium speed.  
  4. Then fold 1/3 of the egg white to the egg yolk mixture, fold well with a rubber spatula and fold in the remaining egg white.
  5. Pour the plain mixture into it. Level the surface.
  6. Bake for 15 mins. 
  7. Turn cooled sponge onto a plastic sheet. Gently peel off baking sheet from the bottom of sponge and invert the sponge with skin facing up. Trim one end on a 45 degree angle and trim the other end on a similar angle. Spread an even layer of strawberry jam over top of sponge.
  8. Gently roll up the sponge to make a Swiss roll. Wrap with plastic sheet or cling wrap and chill it for one hour.
