Aunty Yochana said...

Hi,

cake flour is a low gluten flour. You can also use plain flour too.

Hello Yochana,

What do u mean by fluffy? Should I whip the eggs till it is medium or hard peaks when lifted up?

Thanks a bunch,

-Nhumi

Aunty Yochana said...

Dear Nuhmi,

Fluffy means a lot of froth and it's volume has gone up by double. Becareful not to overwhisk, can cause eggs to deflate though.

Hi Aunty Yochana,

To make this mango swiss roll, can I know what is mango essence and where you can get it? And can I replace it with mango juice? If yes, may I know what quantity of mango juice I am to use?

regards,

Keysia

Aunty Yochana said...

HI keysia,

omit the mango essence is you don't have it. I bought it in small essence bottle - star brand.

Shiok shiok, aunty am going to try this mango roll today.

Isit relatively cheap to buy trays, bakery wares from Sun lik or I can get it fr any plc ?

Cheers Maha

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi Maha,

You can also buy from Phoon Huat. They have a lot of branches everywhere around Singapore. Cheers to you too...Happy baking.

yummybakes said...

Aunty,

Just came back fr Phoon Huat, they don't have 10x14 rect tray, so I bought 11x14 instead.

Can I use this to bake the mango roll ? Do I need to increase the ingredients measurements ?

Some of the recipes requires kirsh.
Isit kirschwasser [red man brad ]?

Appreciate your soonest reply, as I wanna bake it in a while .. thanks aunty

Cheers
Maha

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi Maha,

yes you can use 11 x 14, it will be thinner only. No need to increse ingredients.

yes that's kirsch.

yummybakes said...

wow, that's a prompt reply :)
thanks anunty, you are really sweet :))

yummybakes said...

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi Maha

Yes..keep the balance in the freezer.

yummybakes said...

hi aunty.
thanks for the recipe n i have tried it out but the texture of the roll is dry.
why is it so?

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi anonymous,

I don't know what happen to your swiss roll...could be your oven or your skill.

Mine was ok.

Aunty Yochana,

I tried this recipe last night and it was a disaster. First time i used at 11" x 14" tray, but the batter was so little. It cannot cover the whole tray. I tried to shift it to a smaller tray but ended up in a mess. So I threw the entire batter away.

The second time I made it in a hurry. The batter looked rough. After it is baked, it is dry and hard. Can you advise what went wrong? I was really disappointed.

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi Wendy,

the first tray is - you have overmixed the batter and therefore deflated the mixture, thus giving you a very small volume.

the second tray is that you have thrown in the flour in big lumps or the whole thing causing difficulty in mixing, giving it a very rough texture.

Aunty Yochana,

What do I need to do to prevent overmixing of the batter? I always have difficulty folding in the flour and oil. In order to get it well incorporated, I need to fold quite many times. Maybe this caused the batter to deflate. But how to fold in properly yet not deflate the batter? Can you teach me?

Aunty Yochana said...

Wendy,

Sieve the flour directly into the egg mixture a couple of times and each time fold lightly with the spatula.

Anonymous said...

thanks Aunty Yochana. I will try that. Do I do the same for the oil? To add in few additions? Won't it deflate the batter because I will have to fold more times if ingredients are add in few additions.

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi wendy,

yes you can add in together with the flour so that you don't have to fold too many times, deflating the eggs.

What does gm mean?

And the step that tells you to roll the cake, isn't the cake going to break?

Aunty Yochana said...

hi morningglory,

gm is the short form for Gram.

No...the sponge roll won't break while rolling. Make sure the sponge cake is soft and not hard.

Will it stick to the 10"x14" tray after you cool it down?
because sometimes, i cool things down for 10mins or so, and it sticks, and it cracks my cake in half.

or should i spray some oil on the tray before putting in oven?

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi morningglory,

Lay greaseproof paper in the tray, with overhanging papers so that it's easier to pull it out. You can grease the tray if you want to.

Hi Aunti Yochana,

For the fresh cream, can I use Bulla fresh cream? and if i can, do I still need to whisk it?

Thanks

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi anonymous,

don't use Bulla...use Dairy whipped cream. Bulla is very hard to handle.

I have been baking for years and I came across your recipe one day.
I find that your baking temp. of 200C is too high for a cake that is 1/2 to 1 inch thick. The cake gets dried out very fast even at 10 mins. Unless you increase the percentage of fat in the cake mixture.

I also realized that alot of your fans were wondering how you could mix the flour & butter into the mixture without deflating the cake mixture. Maybe, if you have the time, you could take a 1 min video that shows the segment of you mixing without deflating. That would be very helpful for them.

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi Samantha

oven temp differs in every home.
I have a few ovens at home and everyone has a different character.
One of them must use 200C while another 180 and another 190C. I guess you should understand your own oven first before embarking on baking.

Hi Yochana,

What I meant was if you could put a note to clarify that the temp 200C is subjected to the oven's calibration.

An oven could be offset by up to +/- 10C. That depends on the manufacturer and how old the oven is. The ideal way to test your oven for accuracy is to measure with a probe thermometer, the kind that one uses to measure the internal temperature of roast for different degree of doneness.

180C is usually the standard for any kind of cakes, sometimes at 190C. At 200C, the temp is closer to the standard for baking breads. The above is workable only if the oven is correctly calibrated.

rgds,
Samantha

Hi auntie,

how would the texture of the cake differ if you beat the yolks with sugar until fluffy and beat the whites seperately, incorporating it into the batter, would this result in a more airer swiss roll,or would the texture not be dense enough to roll and hold the filling?

Anonymous said...

can i use this recipe to make make a proper 8" round cake? thanks!

baking mama said...

Hi, enjoy viewing your blog everyday, u bake everyday? can I check, can i add some liquid fresh milk in the batter, I try yr recipe but replace 1/2 portion of oil to liquid fresh milk, after baked, the crust is shiny, dunno why, can help me? many thks.

babywipes said...

hi aunty! i have some dumb questions that i need to ask before starting to try this recipe...

1) do i need to use electric whisk? or can i just whisk it manually?

2) can i use self raising flour instead of cake flour?

3) can i use cream from those cans instead of whisking it myself?

4) how to measure 65g of cornoil? issit equals to 65ml?

thank u!

Dear Aunty Yochana,

Your swiss rolls look great, n i tried your recipes! I tried your sugar roll recipe, n e sponge was great except that a little to the dry side. Im wondering why u use different spongecake recipes for your various swiss rolls?

Thx!

I just made this Swiss roll. But I didn't just whisk the eggs and sugar. I placed the eggs together with the sugar on a Bain-marie and whisk them till they were warm to touch. After which I whisked them on at speed 6 in my kitchenaid. This helps to stabilize the eggs and prevent deflation.
But. What I did realize is that the temp u gave is way to high, even after dropping my oven temp to 190 it got burnt in less than 10 mins. (mine is ariston oven). My roll turned out hard and dry. If I ever use this recipe again, I'll prob drop the oven temp to 170 and bake it for less than 10 mins.
