"Swiss Roll"

Our recipe today is for people with sweet tooth!
"Swiss Roll" is a very delicate dessert. I hope you'll all like it.

Ingredients:

6 eggs.
1 cup flower.
1 cup sugar.
1/2 tbsp vanilla extract.
Apricot jam for filling.
Powdered Sugar.

Directions:

1. Start by heating the oven to 350F.
2. In a big bowl, mix the eggs, sugar, & vanilla very good.
3. Then add the flower and mix all again.
4. Spray a rectangle nonstick baking dish or brush with ghee or butter, then pour the whole mixture in.
5. Put in oven in the lower rack.
6. After 20 minutes we can check if it's fully baked by pressing with our finger on its surface. If the surface stayed down from our press then it needs more time, but if it went up again then it's done.
7. Prepare a wax paper (ورق زبدة) that should be a little larger than your baking dish and sprinkle a lot of powdered sugar all over it!
8. After the cake is baked we take it out of the baking dish and lay it on the wax paper.
9. Cut the side of the cake (left and right), which are the short sides with a knife. This will ease the rolling afterwards.
10. Heat in microwave or on stove some apricot jam until it starts to be saucy for easy spreading!
11. Spread the apricot jam on the whole surface. Don't spread a lot of jam, or else it will pour out of the sides when we start rolling it.
12. Now this is the challenging part, start rolling the cake from the long side using the wax paper, but make sure the paper always stays outside. Wrap it then like a bonbon/candy. All this has to be done, while the cake is still warm!
13. After 1 hour, remove the wrap (wax paper) and sprinkle more powdered sugar, if you feel that it needs more.
14. Put in a serving dish and enjoy!

Tip:

• If you want to make the Swiss Roll with chocolate topping and filling, use cooking chocolate and melt it. You can also you any chocolate topping/frosting.
• This time don't sprinkle any powdered sugar on the wax paper.
• Spread the chocolate on the cake for filling then roll.
• Wrap as previous directions and leave for 1 hour.
• Unwrap and spread the chocolate on the outer side of the Swiss Roll. You can decorate with chocolate sprinkles, or some chopped hazelnuts. Use your imagination and be creative!

Enjoy everyone.
