Frequently Asked Questions About Sesame roll cake
What is sesame roll cake?
Sesame roll cake is a sweet sponge cake rolled around a filling, with sesame added to the batter or used on the outside. Recipes vary: the filling may be cream, jam, or another spread, and some versions use sesame in both the cake and coating.
How do you make sesame roll cake?
To make sesame roll cake, bake a thin sponge layer, then roll it up while it is still warm using a clean towel. Let it cool, unroll it, spread on the filling, roll it again, and finish with sesame seeds if your recipe calls for them.
Why does sesame roll cake crack when rolled?
Sesame roll cake usually cracks because the sponge has dried out from overbaking or was left to cool flat. Bake it just until set, then roll it while warm so it can take on the curved shape before you add the filling.
Should you roll sesame roll cake while it is warm?
Yes, roll the sponge for sesame roll cake while it is warm, before adding any filling. This first roll helps the cake hold its shape; once cool, carefully unroll it, add the filling, and roll it up again.
What filling goes well in sesame roll cake?
Cream, whipped cream, and jam all work well in sesame roll cake. Spread the filling over the cooled sponge in an even, thin layer; too much filling can squeeze out when you roll or slice the cake.
Can you use tahini in sesame roll cake?
Yes, tahini can be used in sesame roll cake for a deeper sesame flavor. Mix a modest amount into the batter or filling, since too much can make the cake dense or the filling difficult to spread.
Should you toast sesame seeds for sesame roll cake?
Toasting sesame seeds can give sesame roll cake a nuttier aroma, but it is optional. Stir the seeds in a dry pan over moderate heat and remove them as soon as they smell fragrant, since they can burn quickly.
How do you keep sesame seeds on sesame roll cake?
To help sesame seeds stick to sesame roll cake, press them gently onto the surface while the coating is still slightly tacky. If the cake is already dry, a thin layer of filling or glaze can help hold the seeds in place.
How should you store sesame roll cake?
Store sesame roll cake in a covered container in the refrigerator, especially when it has a cream filling. Let a slice sit briefly at room temperature before serving for a softer texture; the sesame coating may lose some crispness over time.
Can sesame roll cake be frozen?
Yes, sesame roll cake can be frozen when wrapped tightly to protect it from freezer odors and drying out. Thaw it in the refrigerator before serving; cream fillings and sesame toppings may have a slightly different texture afterward.

What is Sesame roll cake?
Sesame roll cake is made by spreading a thin layer of cake, often sponge, with a sweet filling and rolling it up; sesame may be mixed into the cake, added to the filling or used on the outside. Recipes vary, and the name describes a style of cake rather than one fixed regional recipe.
Its soft, tender crumb contrasts with the sweet centre and sesame’s gently toasted, nutty flavour. Serve a slice with tea or coffee, as a dessert, or as part of an afternoon treat. Like many filled cakes, it is relatively energy-dense, with much of its energy coming from carbohydrates and fat. For a lighter serving, cut a thinner slice and pair it with fresh fruit.
