Chocolate sponge roll with Bailey’s cream, without flour



Here’s another fun cake roll to bake, a Bailey’s chocolate sponge that’s actually flourless! A light chocolate cake with a delicate Bailey’s mascarpone cream filling, and sweet summer strawberries to offset, what more could we ask when you need a bit of chocolate love and comfort ?!

Here’s what you’ll need :

4 eggs, separated
120 g caster sugar
2 heaping teaspoons of cornstarch
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2-3 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons Bailey's Irish Cream (I used Bailey’s Caramel)
Pinch of salt

Cream filling
200 g mascarpone or cream cheese
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons Bailey's Irish Cream

Strawberries or other fruits to garnish

Preheat oven 180 C (350 F). Line oiled rectangular pan with wax paper. Separate eggs. In a bowl, beat egg whites until stiff and you can literally turn bowl over. In a separate bowl, blend yolks, sugar milk, Irish cream and other dry ingredients until creamy. Gently fold egg whites into yolk mixture until color is uniform. Pour into pan and spread evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until center springs to the touch. Allow to cool. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top, place a new sheet of wax paper and turn over on a new sheet, then peel off wax paper on bottom of cake. Layer with cream filling, leaving aside 1/4 for decorating on top. Roll from width side all the while removing wax paper. Decorate with more cream and berries. Enjoy!

Cotton sponge cake with strawberries and cream cheese frosting

My kids had a birthday to celebrate so I made the cakes and they decorated. I used to do this when my children were small, set up a table for them to decorate cookies or gingerbread houses, even had parties like this, and to this day, they like assembling treats and are good cooks. Here's the batter recipe I often use which you can find in my other recipes (mocha sponge, apple cider cake...) : Cotton sponge cake recipe : 4 eggs, separated 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar 1-1/4 cup (180 g) cake flour 3/4 cup (150 g) confectioner's sugar 1/4 cup cider (60 g) (French kind, or 4.5% alcohol) or beer or carbonated water 1/4 cup (60 g) sour cream (or thick cream) 1/4 cup (60 g) milk (as needed) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt Preheat oven to 180° F / 350° C.  Line pan with parchment paper.  I used a 7" spring-form pan and a small fluted brioche mold. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form.  Add granulated sugar a little at a time and continue

Santa Swiss roll

Hello, everyone! Now that it's the season... Had quite a bit of fun making this yule log.  I was dreaming of a red and white Santa-inspired cake with raspberries. I was so pleased with the result, the cake was so soft and not too sweet, the cream light and the raspberries added that perfect tanginess and sweetness. Here's the recipe for the pink velvet and raspberry base: 60 g cooking oil 80 g milk 100 g cake flour 70 g sugar + 3 tablespoons more for the egg whites 6 eggs, separated 1 teaspoon vanilla or 1 teaspoon of coffee extract 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon red gel food color + fresh raspberries, rinsed and pat dried + macarons, candies, sprinkles to decorate Cream cheese frosting 200 g heavy whipping cream 200 g softened cream cheese 50 g confectioners sugar 1 teaspoon lemon juice Preheat hoven 340° F / 170° C. Line a large rectangular baking sheet with parchment paper (I used a 13" x 17" pan). In a bowl, whisk cooking oil, milk, sugar, egg yolks, vanilla, salt

Pink Black Forest cake

Hi guys ! A bit late but I did say I would post this recipe, which was a fun cake to put together for a birthday.  I layered pink velvet and fudge brownie cakes with vanilla cream and candied cherries to make this Pink Black Forest cake for October Rose (breast cancer awareness month). Believe it or not, I didn't have fresh cherries, since it was late in the season, but here is reason to believe you can use frozen or preserved cherries and it works out well too. To be honest, I did make this cake over the space of 2 days. First I preserved the cherries, then made one cake layer and refrigerated everything.  The next day I made another cake layer, as well as the cream and assembled it.  Start with preparing the cherries. In a medium saucepan, over low heat, add 400-500 g of frozen or preserved (unsweetened in water) whole pitted cherries and 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup of water, and 2 tablespoons of kirsch. Once simmering, add 1-1/2 tablespoons of cornstarch until dissolved and simmer ab
