Why would I try to recreate something that is already perfect?
I’m totally fine with recognizing that sometimes the best vegan recipes are not even mine!
Sara Kidd has perfected the Vegan Swiss Roll Cake on her website and also in her cookbook The Vegan Cake Bible
Moist Vanilla Roulade filled with light & airy chocolate whipped cream!
And the best part is~ There’s NO CRACKING!
The only ingredient in Sara’s vegan Swiss roll recipe that you may not have would be the Coconut Condensed Milk
For those who cannot find the canned variety I have a homemade recipe for vegan sweetened condensed milk below!

Notes for Success:
For the white chocolate egg shells filled with Chocolate Whipped Cream
You will need the egg mold and some tempered white chocolate *not sponsored
If you watch the video tutorial for the making of this cake, you will see I had a bit of a FAIL!
My first attempt was filled with chocolate whipped cream, ganache AND chopped roasted almonds
The cake roll was super stuffed and did not roll properly and was quite the mess!
A delicious mess no doubt, but it just did not look pretty as a Swiss Roll should!
So be sure to learn from my mistakes and DON’T OVERFILL YOUR ROULADE!
You can fill your cake roll with whatever you like the best, but as you will see in the video tutorial it is really important not to over fill it!
The filling should not be too much thicker than the actual cake

Swiss Vanilla Cloud Roll
Ingredients
For the Chocolate Whipped Cream:
- 1 Pint Country Crock Vegan Heavy Whipping Cream
- Or your favorite vegan whipped cream
- ¾ cup Vegan Ganache
Instructions
- First prepare the vegan ganache recipe as per the instructions on that recipe post
- Next prepare the vegan roulade cake recipe as instructed on the recipe post

Notes
Depending on the filling that you use for your Vegan Swiss Roll refrigeration will vary.
Since I used whipped cream refrigeration at all times is necessary and will stay fresh wrapped loosely for up to 6 days
Sweetened Condensed Milk Recipe

- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Combine the coconut milk with the sugar in a heavy bottom sauce pan
- bring to a boil over high heat stirring often
- Once it boils reduce heat to a simmer cook for 45 minutes stirring occasionally and watch it closely so it doesn't burn or boil over

I have always loved to buy, make or otherwise condensed milk. But available ones all done with milk. Recently I came across a vegan condensed milk by Nestle but them people are on my black list because they sponsor experiments on animals.
Must try yours and hope for the best. /

Hello! Would the whipped cream needed here just be the full serving of your recipe with soy milk and coconut oil?
Gretchen
Yes! Precisely
Sam
If you can get the Whipping cream from Oatly, it is next level and stale as can be once whipped. It’s unsweetened and can be used as a direct sub for heavy cream (from cows I know, yuck, but this one is from oats! So yayyyyy)).
Gretchen
Awesome! I have not seen that one near me!
