01

Preheat the oven to 150°C. In a bowl, mix 80g of the low-fat quark with the spelt flour, erythritol stevia mix, almond milk, and baking powder until well combined.

02

Beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until stiff and they look like a little cloud. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the dough mixture bit by bit.

03

Spread the dough evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming a rectangle about 1-2cm thick. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.

04

Remove from the oven and immediately flip the baked sponge onto a clean kitchen towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper and roll the sponge up while it is still warm. Let it cool completely.

05

For the filling, mix the remaining 250g of low-fat quark with the flavor powder. Dice the fresh strawberries (save a few slices for topping if desired) and fold them into the quark mixture.

06

Carefully unroll the cooled sponge, spread the strawberry quark filling evenly over it, and roll it back up with love. Optionally, top with extra strawberry slices and coconut flakes.

Notes

This strawberry biscuit roll offers a light, airy dessert experience by utilizing whipped egg whites to create a delicate sponge without heavy fats. The structural integrity relies on folding the whites into the quark and spelt base with extreme care to maintain aeration. Unlike traditional heavy pastry rolls, this version remains moist and supple, making it an excellent choice for a nutritious afternoon treat or a post-workout snack that satisfies a craving for sweets without feeling heavy.

Technique is paramount during the rolling process. By shaping the sponge while it is still warm and flexible, you prevent the cracking that often plagues gluten-light cakes. The finished plate features a soft, white crumb wrapped around a creamy, fruit-studded center. Expect a subtle sweetness from the erythritol and a clean strawberry profile that allows the natural tartness of the quark to provide a balanced, refreshing finish.

Before you start

  • When beating the egg whites in step two, continue until they form stiff peaks that hold their shape even when the bowl is tilted completely upside down.
  • Fold the whites into the batter using a wide spatula and a gentle circular motion; over-mixing here will cause the sponge to come out flat and rubbery.
  • Do not skip rolling the sponge while warm in step four; if the cake cools flat, it will snap and break when you try to fill it.
  • Ensure the quark filling is chilled before spreading in step six to prevent it from leaking out of the sides as you roll the finished dessert.

Swaps that work

  • Replace 40g of spelt flour with 40g of oat flour for a slightly denser texture and a distinctively nutty, wholesome flavor profile.
  • Substitute 100g of fresh strawberries with 100g of fresh raspberries to provide a sharper, more acidic contrast to the sweet cream filling.
  • Swap 60ml of almond milk for 60ml of skimmed cow milk if you prefer a richer dairy taste without increasing the overall fat content significantly.

Keeping it

Store the biscuit roll in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Because of the high moisture content in the quark and fresh strawberries, the sponge will gradually soften. This dish should be eaten cold and does not require reheating. Freezing is not recommended as the quark filling will separate and the strawberries will become mushy upon thawing, ruining the delicate texture of the sponge.

Questions

Why did my sponge crack when I tried to unroll it?

Cracking typically happens if the sponge was baked too long or if it cooled completely before the initial roll. The steam trapped by rolling it while warm keeps the fibers flexible. Ensure you roll it immediately after removing the parchment paper to maintain its shape.

Can I make this biscuit roll a day in advance?

You can prepare it a day early, but the strawberries may release juices into the filling over time. For the best presentation, bake and roll the sponge ahead, then fill it a few hours before serving to keep the cake from becoming too damp.

How do I prevent the quark filling from being too runny?

If your quark has excess liquid, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth for ten minutes before mixing with the flavor powder. This ensures the filling remains thick enough to stay inside the roll rather than soaking into the sponge layers.
