Pandan Rolled Cake

I love rolled cake and one of my favourite will be from Polars.  The sugar roll is my love until they shrank their portion and increased their price.  Ironically I can count with my five fingers on how many times I have attempted on rolled cakes.  

You might be wondering why.  Well I can't bake sponge cake!  Even though I attended some lessons on this, somehow, I just can't get a decent one.  My problem is that it always shrinkage upon cooling.

I did some pandan juice with intention to bake my daughter a pandan chiffon cake and guess what, I either I forget to buy coconut cream or by the time I reached there, the stall closed.

In order not to waste my effort squeezing juice from that big basket of pandan leaves till my wrist hurts, I went on to turn them into Pandan Rolled Cake.

Happy to see the sheet cake baking beautifully in the oven, the colour was intense for me considering that I didn't add any colouring or paste .... my hopes ran high and then.... tsk tsk.... my ugly rolled cake.  It cracked upon rolling.  arrrghhhhh!

So now I continue to drool on My Kitchen's for she is seriously an expert in this field.

Now let’s see whether my lazy bone will abandon me and that I will take on this challenge to better myself with rolled cakes.  

What you need:

4 large eggs
80gm caster sugar
100gm plain flour
60gm melted butter
1 tsp pandan essence (I replaced with concentrated pandan juice)
Few drops of green food colouring

Filling:

Buttercream

Method:

Preheat oven at 200ºC.  Line 10"x 15" baking tray with baking paper. I used a 9X10 oblong pan.

In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs until foamy, gradually add in sugar and beat until light and fluffy.

Fold in flour, melted butter, concentrated pandan juice mix until just combined.

Pour the batter into baking tray and bake for 10 minutes. Cool on rack.

Turn cake over onto a piece of baking paper, spread cream on the top and roll it up with the help of the baking paper.

Chill in the fridge before serving.
