Giraffe Swiss Roll （长颈鹿图案的瑞士卷）

I find this recipe in YouTube video

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 good job


Despite that I follow the steps closely, it turns out not a success, if not a complete failure. There are several issues. The first issue is a special layer which is formed at the bottom of the cake that tastes harder than the rest. I encountered the same problem in the past and have not yet found a solution. 

The second big problem is that the cake breaks easily when I rolled it. I also encountered same issue before.  

The third problem is that the batter is not enough to cover the baking pan 20cm*30cm. Hence, the resulting cake is quite thin. I need to increase the quantity of ingredients for a thicker  cake.



Although the Swiss roll is far from a success, kids love it and eat it all within seconds. That really encourages me to explore how to fix the above problems to make a really successful Swiss roll

Cupcake with self-rising flour （用自发面粉做杯子蛋糕）

用这个食谱， cupcake recipe 但修改了一下份量 Cupcake recipe SERVES/MAKES Serves 12 Ingredients 110g softened butter 110g golden caster sugar （我用90克） 2 large eggs （我用3个鸡蛋） ½ tsp vanilla extract 110g self-raising flour For the buttercream 150g softened butter （我用75克黄油，也就是份量减半。最后打出来的糖霜装饰10个蛋糕之后，剩下的还够装饰好几个蛋糕的） 300g icing sugar （我用110克糖粉，但还觉得很甜） 1 tsp vanilla extract 3 tbsp milk （我用1.5tbsp milk） food colouring paste of  your choice (optional)  (选了蓝色。黄色奶油和蓝色糖霜混合后的颜色很美） Method Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and fill a 12 cupcake tray with cases.Bake for 15 mins until golden brown 黄油+白糖 先用电动搅拌器打发黄油和白糖。然后逐一加鸡蛋。每加一个鸡蛋就用电动搅拌器搅拌均匀。香草精也在这一步加入。妞妞帮我做所有这些步骤，当然，是在我指点下做的了。 鸡蛋都混合入黄油之后，我以为大功告成了，没想到眼尖的妞妞发现盆底有油。我吃了一惊，难道碰上传说中的油水分离现象了吗？我只好再用电动搅拌器多搅拌一会，但好像也没彻底解决这个问题。妞妞看我神色有点担心，她小心翼翼地问我：这次会fail吗？我心神不定地说：希望不会失败吧！其实我心里也是挺没底的。 面粉 接着就是用自发面粉，加一点点盐，过筛后分三次加入黄油蛋糊里。原配方里并没有说要分三次加入，但我看到有的视频里是这么做的。第一次做杯子蛋糕时我就分三次加入面粉，是成功的。所以为保险起见，这次还是分三次加入。妞妞又过来帮忙了。我叮嘱她不要过度搅拌，只要看不到粉就可以停止了 烘烤 我设置烤箱温度17...

依然是个谜的戚风蛋糕凹底

 今天做了一个海绵戚风蛋糕，用的配方是萨姐的，但是把面粉增加了一些，否则蛋糊太稀 我已经很注意以下几点了，这几点据说能避免蛋糕凹底 1. 蛋白里不加白醋 2. 蛋白要打发到干性发泡状态，也就是盆里的蛋白质霜是直立尖角状态，打蛋头上的蛋白霜也是直立尖角 3. 烤盆放在烤箱中下层 今天用五个鸡蛋做的巧克力戚风蛋糕，在烤箱里膨胀的高度刚好到烤盘的高度，算是长得最高的一次，表面开裂也是细微。外观看很完美。但没想到的是，倒扣晾凉后，底部脱模非常容易，当下就觉得一定是底部凹底。一翻开一看，果不其然 搜到有人在Quora询问戚风凹底的问题。和我的情况一模一样 https://www.quora.com/Why-is-my-chiffon-cake-pulling-away-from-the-bottom-of-my-pan-I-havent-greased-it-The-sides-stick-firmly-enough-so-when-I-invert-it-it-doesnt-fall-out-But-because-the-bottom-pulls-away-it-causes-the-middle-of-the Why is my chiffon cake pulling away from the bottom of my pan? I haven't greased it. The sides stick firmly enough, so when I invert it, it doesn't fall out. But because the bottom pulls away, it causes the middle of the cake to become dense. 有一个人的回答让我很感兴趣。他提到烤好后不要立刻拿出来，而是jai fai Now this I think was the game changer for me. After the baking time, I don't take out the pans straight away from the oven to cool. So I invert them in a cookie sheet, put them back to the oven wi...
