hi,
i have a question regarding the different type/ways you have to make a swiss roll...for eg, apricot swiss roll uses cream of tartar and lesser eggs and many more ingredients to make the sponge cake compared to coffee swiss roll that has relatively lesser ingredients to make the sponge. will it taste different?
regards.

hi anonymous,

Oops...I forgot how it taste like. Each individual swiss roll has it's own taste , ingredients and method.

Thank you

Hi Aunty, I tried this recipe the other day and I love the texture of the cake. However, I find it a bit salty, perhaps I didn't use apricot on the cake. Nevertheless, I still love the cake and will adjust the salt next time... Thank you for sharing the recipe here :)
