Easy with Pancake Mix! Basic Milk Flavored Rolled Cake
- 60 grams Pancake mix
- 4 Eggs
- 50 grams Granulated sugar (caster sugar)
- 200 ml Double cream (1.5x if you plan to cover the cake or put a lot of cream inside)
- 30 grams Granulated sugar (caster sugar)
- 1/2 stick~ Vanilla beans (essence)
- 1 Rum or grand mariner (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 400F/200C.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper, and sift the pancake mix .
- Prepare a dry clean bowl and a hand mixer.
- Put the eggs and sugar into the bowl and whip for about 10 minutes until the mixture turns white.
- When the batter becomes heavier like ribbons, add pancake mix in several batches, stirring lightly until all the flour has been absorbed.
- The dough will be rough if you don't mix well enough, but it will become too fine if you mix too much.
- Stir the dough throughly from the bottom until it becomes shiny as shown in this picture.
- When it's mixed throughly, pour the batter into the baking tray and spread it out evenly with a scraper.
- Drop the tray slightly onto a kitchen surface to remove air bubbles and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Take out the baking tray after 10 minutes, and gently press the cake.
- If you hear a fizzing sound, it's not done yet.
- Bake for a few more minutes.
- When it's done, cover with cling film so that it stays moist and let it cool down a little.
- For a light colored swiss roll, cover the browned side with cling film.
- Add granulated sugar to the double cream.
- Cut the vanilla bean into half, scrape the insides, add to the cream and whip.
- (You could use vanilla essence instead.)
- If you want to make a swiss roll, whip the cream until soft peaks form.
- If you want to make a log cake (as shown in the main photo), whip the cream until stiff peaks form.
- Keep watching the cream as dairy-based heavy creams stiffen quickly.
- You can choose to roll the brown side inside or outside.
- If you want to remove the brown color, peel off the cling film gently and the brown bit will come off as well.
- Slice off the edge at the far end diagonally.
- Put parchment paper under the sponge cake, spread more cream on the front half.
- (If you want to add some fruit, do it here.)
- When you have rolled the whole thing up (I rolled the browned side out), cut both ends and it's done.
- You can cut it nicely if you chill the cake and cut it gently with a warm knife.
- Enjoy decorating the cake as you like .
- This is also easy and the steps are the same "With Just Flour/ Eggs/ Sugar No Additives Fluffy Swiss Roll".
