A quick and elegant dome cake made by lining a dome mold with slices of strawberry jelly Swiss roll and filling it with a creamy mousse. Perfect for celebrations and last-minute gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Strawberry Jelly Swiss Roll, 10-12 inches (25-30 cm) long
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 medium lemon
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) strawberry jam or jelly (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon gelatin powder (vegetarian gelatin optional)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) cold water

Instructions

  1. Line a medium-sized dome-shaped bowl with plastic wrap, leaving extra hanging over the edges to help unmold later. (10 minutes)
  2. Slice the strawberry jelly Swiss roll into 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick slices. Trim edges if needed for neat circles. (5 minutes)
  3. Arrange the slices starting from the bottom center of the mold, overlapping slightly to cover the surface evenly. Line the sides vertically with slices, pressing gently to avoid gaps. (15 minutes)
  4. Sprinkle gelatin powder over cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  5. Warm the bloomed gelatin gently over a double boiler or microwave in short bursts until fully dissolved. Do not boil. Set aside to cool slightly. (5 minutes)
  6. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Add lemon zest and strawberry jam if using, mixing well.
  7. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  8. Slowly pour the cooled gelatin into the cream cheese mixture, stirring quickly to incorporate evenly.
  9. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in batches, keeping it light and airy. (10 minutes)
  10. Pour the filling into the lined mold over the Swiss roll slices, smoothing the top with a spatula. Fold plastic wrap edges over the filling to cover completely.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to let the filling set firmly and flavors meld. (4-12 hours)
  12. Carefully invert the dome onto a serving plate and peel off the plastic wrap gently to reveal the patterned sponge exterior enclosing the creamy filling. (5 minutes)

Notes

Bloom gelatin fully in cold water before warming to avoid lumps. Use a moist but firm Swiss roll to prevent cracking. Overlap Swiss roll slices tightly to avoid filling leaks. Chill the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Use a warm, sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped clean between cuts for clean slices.
