Christmas log cake (圣诞木头蛋糕)

For making the top layer with black chocolate and butter, I follow the method in this video https://youtu.be/bulnxOtFPiM Ingredient (I only use half of the quantity in the video) Black chocolate 125g Butter 100g Brown sugar 25g Milk 1/2 tbsp Vanilla extract 1/4 tsp Tips: After melting black chocolate in the butter, put the mixture in the fridge. Need to check it after 15 minutes. Don’t leave it in the fridge for too long, otherwise the mixture will become solid which is undesirable. For the Swiss roll, I just use this recipe https://bakingtaste.blogspot.com/2018/12/chocolate-swiss-roll.html

Bake Swiss roll within 45 minutes (45分钟做好瑞士卷)

After successfully making vanilla and chocolate Swiss roll several times, now I am confident enough to declare that a Swiss roll can be baked within a mere 45 minutes.  Here are the tips: The duration of  45 minutes is divided into three sessions, each spanning 15 minutes.  Stage 1:  Spend the first 15 minutes finding the ingredients and containers (cups, bowls) and measuring the ingredients with digital scale. Firstly, you need to get the milk, eggs, vanilla essence from the fridge.  Secondly, you need to get the cake bread, caster sugar, cocoa powder, corn oil from the kitchen cabinet  Thirdly, you need to get 7 bowls or cups from kitchen cabinet to store the required amount of ingredient  Here is why we need 7 bowls in the case of chocolate Swiss roll. And you need 6 bowls in the case of vanilla Swiss roll  A big bowl for the cake bread A cup for caster sugar to be mixed with yolk   A cup for caster sugar to be mixed with egg white   A bow

Soft bread with butter (用黄油的松软面包)

I find this recipe in youtube    Soft Bread Recipe    https://youtu.be/5Ce2IJgxW2E Ingredients  Water 120ml yeast 1 tea spoon sugar 3 tea spoon salt 3/4 tea spoon Milk powder 4 table spoon Egg 1 Bread flour 250g Melt butter 20g I put all the ingredients except the butter into the Philips food processor model HR7776 and let it knead for 10 minutes. Then I put the melt and soft butter of 20gram into the batter. Continue to knead for several minutes until the batter becomes smooth,  elastic and stretchy. The first time I make this bread, I simply put the dough on the silicone mat and cover it with a very big stainless steel bowl which I bought from ikea. The dough rises fast and  well.  But the second time I make this bread, the dough does not rise as fast as the previous one. It becomes only slightly bigger after one hour. I am curious about what might go wrong. I decide to put it inside the bowl and cover it with a towel, which is a conventional app

Giraffe Swiss Roll (长颈鹿图案的瑞士卷)

I find this recipe in YouTube video Recipe https://youtu.be/L9hJpvwPfa8 Ingredient Eggs 4 Sugar for yolk 20g Sugar for egg white 30g Milk 70g Oil 20g Cake flour 80g Cocoa powder 1 teaspoon Whipping cream 200g Strawberry some I’ve been making muffin, chiffon cake and bread in the past few months. I’ve not baked Swiss roll for quite some time. The video looks interesting, especially the giraffe pattern is funny. I decide to try this recipe.  While I was preparing the ingredients for making Swiss roll, niuniu swam in the pool. When she came back, she was surprised to find  I’ve already started beating the egg white and did not wait for her as I promised. She instantly got angry and even started to cry, saying “mama is a baby” to vent her anger. She was irritated because she thought I did not keep my promise. I reassured her that she would do  the most difficult step - using the piping bag to make the giraffe pattern. She stopping crying finally and did a goo
