Salam, Kia Ora...

This is what I did to the leftover batter after making the sponge cake for the fruit trifle.  The trifle is gone in 2 days and 2/3 of it was eaten by dear hb....hahahaz.  He took it for his lunch for 2 days and ate most of it at home.  Hb will only see this trifle again next year, InsyaAllah...God Willing.  I wouldn't recommend eating too much of the trifle bcos its just too rich with cream and eggs.

Anyway, back to this swiss roll.  Just a word of caution when you bake this swiss roll.  If you undercooked it, the 'skin' will stick to the paper while you are rolling it and if you overcooked it, the cake will crack when you roll it.  My cake was a little undercooked hence it has no skin at all...huhuhu.  Anyway, looks doesn't matter because the cake is already gone...hehehez.  Both me and Jannah didn't eat much of the trifle but we chomped on the swiss roll instead ;) yummmy....

For you, my luvly blogger friend, Yat Maria, I have converted the measurements from ounce to gram.  Hope to see this cake in your blog soon....hehehez ;)
