FOR MAKING PATTERN FOR SWISS CAKE:
Cut the baking paper which fits your baking tray.
Then make your pattern by piping it onto the baking/parchment paper.
Then place this baking tray in the freezer for about 4 hours or more, to go firm.
FOR WHIPPING CREAM : mix icing sugar and cream untill smooth with hand blender and keep it aside in fridge.
FOR BAKING A CAKE FOR SWISS ROLL:
Take out the patterned tray from freezer.
Pour the cake mixture over your frozen pattern and spread it evenly, right to the edges with spatula, making it as thin as possible (it will rise after baking)
Bang the tray on kitchen platform a few times to make sure the mixture gets all around the pattern.
Then bake in the oven for 7 minutes in the centre rack of the oven. It doesn’t have to be over baked otherwise it would be difficult to roll the swiss roll.
Once your cake is ready take it out of the oven and immediately trim off the edges using a serrated knife.
Cover cake with baking paper, and invert it on another flat baking tray or chopping board on top and flip it over.
And then you will be able to just lift off your tray, the edges will stay in the pan and you’re left with a neat cake
Peel off the baking paper straight away while it is still hot. Then leave it to cool
Place a clean sheet of baking paper over your cooled cake and flip it over again.
Once the cake is cooled a bit , spread whipped cream and icing sugar mixture on top of it.
Then starting at one end using the paper to help you roll up the cake up and transfer it to your serving platter.
Decorate with strawberries puree on top( instead of putting fruit puree inside the swiss roll, up on the layer of whip cream, i have decorated on top).
Place the cake roll in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours before slicing into pieces.
Enjoy a light and spongy cake with whipped cream frosting inside it!
Notes : Don’t try to slice the cake as soon as you roll it. Keeping it in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours gives it time to set and then you will be able to cut clean slices.
While spreading the batter of cake on frozen pattern, make it as thin as possible, as after baking cake would rise and otherwise would be difficult to roll the cake.
