About Cake roll

A cake roll, also known as a Swiss roll, is a type of sponge cake filled with cream, fruit preserves, or other fillings, rolled into a spiral shape. Originating in Central Europe, the dish has gained popularity worldwide, especially in British and Asian cuisines. Cake rolls are typically made from basic ingredients such as eggs, sugar, flour, and a filling of choice. The nutritional profile varies depending on the ingredients, but a standard slice provides around 150–250 calories, moderate carbohydrates from the sponge, and some fat from cream-based fillings. It is usually low in dietary fiber and protein while providing small amounts of calcium, iron, and vitamin A.

Health Benefits

• Provides quick energy from carbohydrates, useful for active individuals or as a pre-workout snack.
• Contains vitamin A from egg yolks, which supports immune function and eye health.
• Iron content in a cake roll, though minimal, contributes to oxygen transport in the body.

Allergens: Contains eggs, wheat (gluten), dairy (in most fillings)

Suitable for: Vegetarian (if made without gelatin or animal derivatives), non-allergic individuals without dietary restrictions

Not suitable for: Vegan (contains eggs and dairy), gluten-free (contains wheat), lactose-intolerant (if made with dairy-based filling)
