Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   From 4 eggs, separate the white from the yolk. Add a pinch of salt and 10 grams of sugar to the yolks. Beat with a mixer until fluffy and light.

2. STEP 2

   

   Gradually add 50 milliliters of vegetable oil to the beaten yolks, stirring well with a mixer. Add 65 milliliters of milk and sift 80 grams of flour through a fine sieve. Mix in the same way. Set the whipped mass aside and work on the whites.

3. STEP 3

   

   Beat 4 egg whites until fluffy and white, and without stopping beating, gradually add 50 grams of sugar. Beat the whites to stiff peaks.

4. STEP 4

   

   Mix the whipped whites into the yolk mass in 2-3 additions, stirring gently with a spatula. Bring until smooth.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour the fluffy mass onto a baking sheet with a diameter of 30 by 40 centimeters covered with parchment paper. Distribute the dough throughout the baking sheet. Place the sponge cake in a preheated oven at 170 degrees and bake for 15 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cover the finished biscuit with parchment paper, turn it over and separate the paper on which it was baked.

7. STEP 7

   

   Roll the biscuit into a roll, along with parchment paper, and leave it until it cools completely.

8. STEP 8

   

   Unroll the cooled biscuit and spread apricot jam over the entire surface. I used 200 grams of apricot jam.

9. STEP 9

   

   Roll the biscuit into a roll. Cut off the edges of the roll on both sides, about 2-2.5 centimeters each. Transfer the finished roll to a plate and make cream.

10. STEP 10

    

    Add 200 grams of boiled condensed milk to 100 grams of butter and mix with a mixer until smooth. I recommend using “Rogachev” condensed milk for a richer taste.

11. STEP 11

    

    We coat the places where we will have knots and attach the scraps to our roll, fastening with the uneven side! We coat the top with cream imitating tree bark.

12. STEP 12

    

    The fabulously tasty and unusually beautiful roll is ready!
