Chocolate & Jam roll cake

 Hello, 

Today I want to share with you an easy recipe for a roll cake. 

You can use jam, chocolate, cream, pudding to fill it. I used my home made jam - plum jam to be more specific :) 

Ingredients: 

5 eggs 

6 spoons flour 

2-3 spoons of sugar 

vanilla essence or vanilla sugar 

baking paper 

How to:

Pre-heat oven at 180 degrees C. 

Separate the eggs and use a mixer to beat them up. Once this is done, you can mix up the whites and the yolks and add the rest of sugar, flour slowly. 

Lay it on the tray, in a thin layer (not more than 1 cm) on a baking paper. 

Bake it for 10-12min at 180 degrees C. 

Once done, you can leave it to cool down for a while, then spread the filling (jam, chocolate, etc.)

At the end I chose to cover it in chocolate spread and shower it with coconut flakes. 

The result is yummy! 

Creme brulee with a twist

 

A delicious dessert for the times when you don't wanna bother too much with the baking part. 

Here it is my interpretation of the famous creme brulee (Crème brûlée). 

Ingredients: 

- 6 eggs

- 1 glass milk 

- 6 spoons of brown sugar 

 - vanilla essence

- coconut flakes, coconut favoured sugar 

Cooking time: 1h 

Start by mixing the eggs with sugar until they double their volume. Add the coconut flakes and milk. 

The trick of baking the creme brulee is to do it in a bain marie style: pot in a pot with water. 

The oven needs to be set at a lower degree, 150 C. Bake for 45 min. 

The result is: 

it is extremely flavoured and has just the right consistency. I served it with ice cream. Enjoy! 

Coconut and blackberry jam cake

Helloooo :) I want to share with you this recipe for a fast cake with ingredients you can easily find. I craved for something sweet and pull this together. So here we go:

Ingredients: 

• 5 eggs 
• 100 gr flour 
• 100 gr coconut 
• one jar of blackberry jam - 250-300gr 
• 50 gr brown sugar 
• baking powder
• lemon juice 

Time : 20 min to prepare + 40 min in the oven 

You start by dividing the egg parts and in a bowl you mix the white parts with sugar till you get a texture that wont' leak out of the bowl. In another bowl you add the yolks, along with flour, coconut and baking powder, previously dissolved in the lemon juice. 

See? it's very easy. Ah, almost forgot to remind about the oven that needs to be pre-heated at 180 degrees C. 

Then you mix everything and lay it in the tray, on a baking paper. Depending on the oven you have, it might take 35-40 min to bake it. When it's done, it looks like this: 

Now it is the moment when you lay a pretty thick layer of blackberry jam on top of the cake and then you put it back in the oven for another 5-10 min. The result looks like this: 

You can cut into pieces when it gets colder, after 30 min or so. I took it to work the next day,  and I can tell you that my colleagues found it delicious :) So bon-appetit :)
