Cream cheese and lox on an everything bagel, but make it a cake? Ok, here’s your Smoked Salmon Roll-Up. I do have a bagel shop less than a block from my house, but this is a cool idea and a fun twist on a favorite combo. A thin sponge with everything bagel seasonings gets rolled around a spiral of cream cheese and smoked salmon with dill, capers, chives, scallion and plenty of lemon juice. Everything is salty and zippy.

I’m the only real smoked salmon lover in this house, so I scaled this down to a third of the recipe and baked the sponge in an 8-inch square cake pan. My roll-up is tiny, but cute. I had a little crack in the center of my cake, so I decided to do the cucumber garnish on top to cover it up (a roll-up cover-up). Looking at this photo, I wish I’d shaved my cuke on the mandolin to look like fish scales, instead of just hand-slicing them and having them sit a little funny. A fun and tasty bake, though!

If you don’t have the book Baking with Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple by Dorie Greenspan, get it and join us as we bake through it twice a month. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll!

Your roll-up for one is adorable. I had a crack in mine too – I think it adds to the charm. This was really delicious although rich.
