Ingredients
- Chicken Egg - 5 pieces
- Sugar - 7.8 oz

- Mascarpone Cheese Unagrande - 17.6 oz
- Meyer Lemon Juice - 0 fl oz
- Wheat Flour - 3.9 oz
Step by Step guide
Step 1
The poppy seeds need to be prepared in advance. Bring the milk to a boil, add the poppy seeds, reduce the heat, and simmer covered on low heat for 4 hours. Then cool everything down and strain. The remaining milk can be used for another dough, such as for pancakes.
Step 2
Crack the eggs into the mixing bowl and beat them at maximum speed.
Step 3
When the yolks and whites are combined, gradually add 120 grams of sugar in several stages. Whip everything until stiff peaks form. The meringue should be stable. This will take about 7–10 minutes.
Step 4
Place the mascarpone in the mixing bowl, add 100 grams of sugar and lemon juice, and whip on medium speed. This is necessary to soften the mascarpone, making it easier to work with.
Step 5
While the mascarpone is being whipped, finish preparing the batter. Gently fold the sifted all-purpose flour into the egg and sugar mixture using a spatula, making circular motions. Be careful not to deflate the foam. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Step 6
Add 10 ml of the milk used to soak the poppy seeds to the mascarpone, so that the filling becomes more liquid.
Step 7
Continue beating the mascarpone, gradually adding the poppy seeds.
Step 8
Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat. Bake in an oven preheated to 320°F for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, let it sit for 5 minutes, cover with another silicone mat, and flip it over. Allow everything to cool for an hour. If the dough is completely cold, it may stick to the mat, and it could break when you try to roll it. If you start spreading the filling on the hot sponge cake, the mascarpone will become liquid and runny.
Step 9
Spread the filling over the cake layer, leaving about 1 cm on one side and one-fifth of the length of the cake layer on the other side without filling, as shown in the photo. This is necessary for rolling and sealing the roll.
Step 10
Carefully roll everything into a log, making sure the dough doesn't crack. There's no need to roll it too tightly, as there is plenty of filling, so the log will turn out quite fluffy.
Step 11
Trim the ends. Place the roll in the refrigerator overnight. The poppy seeds will become even softer. The sponge cake will absorb the excess moisture from the cream. Together, everything will become juicier. Serve with sour cream.
