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
Whipped cream - 1 box
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.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the whipping cream according to the instruction on the packet.
  • Once the sponge is cooled, unroll it and spread the jam all over the sponge.
  • Next, add a dollop of whipped cream and spread it all over the sponge.
  • Carefully roll up the sponge again, without the towel. 
  • Dust with icing sugar on the top and refrigerate it!

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 ...

Julekake- A Norwegian Cardamom Scented Christmas Bread

We Knead To Bake!  is a bread baking group on FB, hosted by  Aparna Balasubramanian  of My Diverse Kitchen . Though I had joined this group couple of months back, I haven't baked anything to date except for pizzas. Now, baking bread is not a child's play. So, I waited until I get to bake something easy. And this month's recipe proved to be the right one to bake for an amateur like me!! Julekake (or Julekaka/ Julekaga) is a rich holiday bread flavoured with cardamom which is traditionally served at Christmas in many Scandinavian countries. It is particularly popular in Norway and Denmark. Incidentally, Julekake means “Yule Bread” in Norwegian.  This bread is more cake-like in texture and sometimes it is dusted with powdered sugar or glazed with a white sugar icing. If it is not glazed or left plain, then it is usually served warm at breakfast with butter or a goat milk cheese called geitost/ brunost.  In Norway, Julekake traditionally only a...
