A delightful Swiss roll, also known as a jelly roll or roulade, is a sponge cake baked in a thin, flat layer, then rolled up with a filling. Enjoy this classic treat at its freshest by following proper storage guidelines to maintain its tender crumb and creamy filling.
Storage Time
3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2 months in the freezer
Temperature
Store refrigerated at 0–4°C (32–40°F)
Freezing
To freeze a Swiss roll, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil or place it in an airtight freezer-safe container. This prevents freezer burn and preserves its delicate texture. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving for the best quality. Freezing may slightly alter the texture of the frosting or filling, but the cake itself will remain delicious.
Signs of Spoilage
- Mold growth on the cake or filling
- A sour or off smell emanating from the roll
- A slimy or sticky texture on the cake's surface or filling
