A Swiss roll or jelly roll (or cream roll when so filled) is a type of sponge cake roll. A thin cake layer is made of flour eggs and sugar and baked in a very shallow rectangular baking tray called a sheet pan. The cake is removed from the pan and spread with jam or buttercream rolled up and served in round cross-sectional slices.The origins of the term Swiss roll are unclear. The cake originated in Central Europe but not in Switzerland as the name would suggest.
