Hi Jeannie,

no need to add water. Just add directly and stir.

Hi aunty yochana, is normal colouring same as paste? I find the paste more sticky, will it affect the cake? I hav 1 swiss roll recipe almost the same as yours but without water, so was wondering if it is ok to add the paste?

Thanks alot!

Hi Jeannie,

yes you can use paste but don't add too much cos they are more concentrated.

Hi aunt yochana, I juz started to learn baking and i had tried out this recipe but my cake turned out to be so rough and cannot be rolled? Can i know what are the reason that made it so?

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi zoe,

it shouldn't be. Cake baked with optima flour are normally soft and fluffy.

what is optima flour? any replacement of flour if i don have any optima?

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi,

I know the proportion of the premix for optima flour.
So I think you should use any swiss roll recipe but use this idea of colours,

Hi Aunty Yochana, your cake looks lovely. It really inspired me to bake one. I had a lovely baking session until when I tried to roll it ... it broke where the colours join. Sigh ... can you advise me where I've gone wrong? Tks, Joan
