Vanilla-Chocolate-Swiss roll

 

 

 

Hello everyone!

Even though I am not a very good cook, I enjoy baking. I usually don’t have much time and that is why I like to bake simple cakes that do not need a lot of effort. A few days ago my mother showed me a new recipe, which I wanted to try for this blog post.

 

For the Vanilla-Chocolate-Swiss roll you need the following ingredients:

ü 6 eggs

ü 180 grams sugar

ü 140 grams flour

ü Baking powder

ü 4 tablespoons oil

ü 1 tablespoon custard powder (vanilla)

ü 1 tablespoon custard powder (chocolate)

ü 20 grams cocoa powder

 

Some jam for the filling and powdered sugar for dusting

 

Instructions:

1.      Preheat the oven to 160°C and put greaseproof paper in the baking tray, making sure that the paper extends over the edges.

2.      Prepare the first mixture:

a.       Separate 3 eggs and beat the egg whites.

b.      Add 90 grams of sugar and the yolks, then mix it until it is creamy.  

c.       Sift 80 grams of flour and a pinch of baking powder in the mixture.

d.      Add 2 tablespoons of oil and the vanilla flavored custard powder.

3.      Prepare the second mixture:

a.       Follow the instructions 2a to 2c but use 60 grams of flour instead of 80 grams.

b.      Add 2 tablespoons of oil, the chocolate flavored custard powder and 20 grams of cocoa powder.

 

4.      Fill the two mixtures in piping bags with big, round nozzles and squeeze the mixtures in diagonal stripes on the baking tray so that a striped pattern is formed.

5.      Bake in the middle of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

6.      Take a clean tea towel, place it on the work surface and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

7.      When the cake is done, take it out of the oven and put it onto the sugared tea towel right away. Spread the jam over the cake and roll it up.

Now, the Vanilla-Chocolate-Swiss roll is ready to serve.  Enjoy!

Who am I?

Hi you all!

My name is Magdalena and I am 20 years old. I have read some of your posts and compared to you guys, I don’t think that I am an interesting person. Neither was I born in an exotic country, nor did I grow up bilingual or have an extraordinary hobby. I could tell you where I live, where I went to school etc. and you would probably stop reading. Because it is difficult for me to describe myself, I decided to tell you about three aims in my life.

Firstly, I want a good job. For me, a good job does not mean earning as much money as possible or having a job with a high esteem. There is only one thing I expect from my future job. I want to be into it and not go to work wishing the day was already over. I want to be happy with what I do and enjoy it.

Secondly, it might sound corny, but one day I want have my own family. I grew up in a big family with three siblings and a lot of relatives. Of course we argue sometimes, but for the most part we have a lot of fun and a great time together. One day I would like to have children of my own who grow up in a similar surrounding as I did.  

My last big aim in live is to travel around the world. Before I settle down to family life, I want to see as much as possible. I want to hike through the jungle, swim in the Caribbean Sea and stroll along the Great Wall of China. I want to learn something about all the different cultures and see the legacy of past cultures. We live on a big planet with a lot of beautiful and interesting things that I want discover.

The last point is the reason why I study English and Spanish. As a part of my studies I intend to go abroad for two terms and work in foreign countries during the summers.

This is what I want for my my future and I hope it tells you something about me.
