Well....my favorite month is here!!Yippee!!And I have lots and lots of baking coming up!!In fact, starting with this post, I am hoping to bake something new every week until Christmas!!And so to start off, here is my first recipe for you--Swiss Roll...


Ingredients:
Recipe Adapted from: Cake by Rachel Allen

Castor sugar- 100 gm
Eggs - 4
Plain flour - 100 gm
Baking powder - 1 tsp
Mixed berry jam - 3-4 tbsp

Icing sugar - for dusting


Method:
  • Preheat oven to 180 C.
  • Butter the sides of a Swiss roll tin and line the base with baking paper.
  • Beat the sugar and eggs in a large bowl with the help of an electric beater for several minutes until light, thickened and tripled in size.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder over the mixture.
  • Fold in until just combined.
  • Pour it into the prepared tin and smooth the top with a spatula. 
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes or until just springy to touch in the center.
  • Remove from the oven and leave the tin to cool down for 5 minutes.
  • Dust icing sugar on the top of the sponge. Make sure the sugar is dusted on every part of the sponge.
  • Take a towel slightly larger than the tin and spread on top of the tin. Quickly flip the Swiss roll tin over onto the towel. Carefully remove the tin and the baking paper from the bottom of the sponge.
  • Roll the sponge along with the towel and keep aside for it to cool completely.

Pansache Dhonas/ Jackfruit Cake

It's the season of jackfruit and you get to see lots of them in Kerala now. Last week, when I went home for a day, I brought back some jackfruits as my son loves them...... After everybody had their share, I had little left in the fridge and so decided to bake this Goan cake - Pansache Dhonas, which I had penned down from Raksha's Kitchen some months back. I would say this cake is definitely a healthy one as it uses no maida, sugar or butter.... The cake tasted quite different from the normal ones and it was indeed yummy! Ingredients: Recipe Source: Raksha's Kitchen Jackfruit pulp - 2 cups Grated coconut - 1 cup Salt - 1/2 tsp Rava - 1 cup Jaggery - 1 cup Cardamom powder - 2 tsps Cashewnuts, chopped - 10 Almonds, chopped - 5-10 Raisins - 10 Method: Roast rava till it is light brown or till the aroma wafts into the air. Keep aside. Let it cool for at least 20 mins. Remove the jackfruit seeds and put them into a mixer and make a pulp out of it.
