Coffee Prune Roulade Recipe (video)
Coffee swiss roll cake with orange and prune filling, dulce de leche and whipped cream frosting!
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee
For Prune Filling:
- 8 ounces dried prunes
- 1 cup orange juice, about 2 large oranges
- 1/2 cup strong espresso
- 1/3 cup golden rum
For Chantilly Cream:
- 2 cups cold heavy cream
- 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
- 1 tablespoon dark rum
For Caramel Filling: (optional but delicious!)
- 14 ounce dulce de leche
- 1 1/4 cup butter, softened at room temperature
Instructions
For Coffee Sponge Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12X17-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Place eggs and sugar into mixer bowl and whisk on high speed until fluffy and pale, almost white in color. Combine the flour and baking powder in small bowl. Using sifter or mesh strainer, sift flour into egg mixture in increments; use a spoon to fold the flour in very carefully.
- Spread the cake batter onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes until top turns golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately loosen edges of the cake away from the pan using a knife. Then place a clean kitchen towel onto the cake and gently roll up the cake. Place into cooling rack to cool completely.
Orange Prune Filling:
- While cake is cooling, prepare the prune filling. Finely dice the prunes and place in medium sauce pot along with the espresso, orange juice and rum. Return to stove top and cook over medium heat, for 15 to 17 minutes until mixture is thick and most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and place into blender or use stick blender to puree the filling. Let the filling cool before using on cake.
For Frosting:
- To prepare Chantilly crème, place cold whipping cream, sugar and rum into mixer bowl. Whisk on high speed until stick peaks form. Place into the refrigerator if not using immediately.
Assembling the cake:
- To assemble cake, unroll the cooled sponge cake and remove the parchment paper and towel. Spread with the prune filling, spreading it evenly across the cake. Follow with half of the Chantilly crème. Gently roll the cake into jelly roll and place onto cake platter. Spoon the remaining Chantilly crème on top and use cake spatula to spread the crème evenly on all sides. To garnish cake, use chocolate, cocoa powder, sliced nuts such as almonds or fresh berries. Place cake in refrigerator overnight (preferably).
- You can add optional additional filling: simply whisk together butter and dulce de leche until light and fluffy. Spread onto sponge cake before adding other fillings.

Looks amazing! Making it right now, but where do you add the instant coffee? With the flour? Or did I miss it in your direction in yours ?
Sorry for the late reply! Hope you’re cake turned out well! You want to add it in with the flour
I have made this today and am excited to try it I put dulce de leche as well in the filling !!! It just has to cool a bit
🙂 The dulce de leche is a very tasty addition! Hope you enjoy the cake!
Hi! I’m looking forward to making this recipe! Thank you for sharing.
Just one question. I notice that there are differences with the written recipe and the video recipe.
For example, in the video you call for 2 cups of heavy cream for the chantilly, but only 1 cup in the written recipe.
Also, 2 tablespoons of instant coffee in the video but only 1 in the written.
I’m simply wondering which recipe to follow for best results!
Like I said, in looking forward to making this 🙂
Большое спасибо за потраченное вами время!
Thank you so much for pointing out my recipe mistake! I had created the video after I had the recipe posted but forgot to change the amounts! It’s 2 cups heavy cream and 2 tablespoons coffee! Hope you enjoy the recipe!
Is it ok to leave the cake in the refrigerator for 2-3 days before serving?
Yes! 🙂 It will be just fine in the fridge
I just put this cake in my fridge and will be serving it in about 8 hours… it looks amazing!!! I’ve decorated it exactly as you did with the chocolate drizzle and sliced almonds, but instead of strawberries, I placed fresh raspberries randomly around the cake and garnished it with sprigs of fresh mint. It is so beautiful and colorful… I can’t wait for the big reveal… it’s my girlfriend’s birthday cake!! She has no idea, hahaha… Thanks Tatyana… you’ve become my “GO TO” person for fabulous cakes… 🙂
I hope you enjoyed the cake!! :))
