    Swiss Roll

    Swiss rolls are so much fun to make, most of you think it is a complicated thing to make, but i am telling it is more easy than making any other cakes or desert because it just take less than 12 mins to bake and the batter can be made in less than 10 mins and it just need a handful of ingredients. Plus it has no fat in them so it is pretty healthy.

    Swiss Roll Recipe step by step pictures

     
    You need a handful of ingredients
    Start by preparing the pan..I used this big rectangle baking tray..You can use swiss roll pan
    first brush the base lightly with oil
    line it with parchment paper
    brush it with some more oil
    sprinkle some maida / flour over it
    coat on all sides..Pan done..set this aside
    Now if you are using granulated sugar, take it in a blender
    make it into a powder..
    Crack open 3 eggs in a large bowl
    Use a electric beater to whip it up
    now it is lightly whipped
    Add in sugar 
    whip till it is fluffy
    Add in vanilla
    and some warm water
    beat it again..
    beat till it is fluffy..this stage is really important because it will make the rolls soft
    Now take flour in a sifter and sieve half of them in
    once half of the flour is sifted
    fold it gently in
    once that batch is mixed
    sieve the remaining flour in
    now fold this very gently
    you have to keep the air which you whipped there..so fold very gently

    Now the batter is done

    pour this into the tray
    once everything is poured
    spread it out thinly
    bake it for 10 to 12 mins till the top is springy
    now spread a sheet of parchment paper in the table
    sprinkle icing sugar generously
    you can use normal powdered sugar as well
    flip the cake carefully over the sugar
    peel off the parchment very carefully
    ta da
    Now wet some kitchen towel
    spread it over the cake..this prevents the cake from drying
    now the cake is cooled
    Dollop your favourite jam, you can spread chocolate as well
    spread it out thinly
    now start rolling carefully
    Now it is all rolled
     
    place this in a plate
    dust with some icing sugar
    slice and serve

      I baked it for ten minutes. the appearance was same like your cake. But it was not spongy and flexible hence it could not be rolled. As I rolled, it broke in three parts 😛 and looked like a clumsy Swiss sandwich :)))...my brothers teased me a lott and I am sure it's going down in our family history records to narrate it to my children and grand-children. :-/ :)).
      Is there a possibility that by adding baking soda or baking powder it could have become spongy and flexible?

      @Myrai think u haven't whipped the egg enought. Whip it till it is airy and fluffy, that will give the fluffyness and flexiblity. baking soda and baking powder is not necessary
