I don't think anyone can guess what the above picture was suppose to be.
Well, it certainly didn't look like what it was suppose to be *sniff*. That was my first attempt at making lemon roll. I've tried making swiss rolls a few times before, and have never actually been successful with it. The texture of the cake is always good, but I always break the swiss roll itself when I try to roll it. Well, I found this new recipe online, and I decided to try it out, since it didn't seem to hard. Well, that was a wrong move as I overbaked the batter, and since the batter did not have any rising agent in it (eg baking powder), it didn't rise very well.
Hence, I decided to turn them into lemon biscuits! It actually tasted pretty good *shameless self praising*
Anyway, I decided to give the lemon roll another go, however I used a different recipe this time.
I am very happy with the result actually, as I can finally roll the cake into a lemon roll without breaking it! I actually adapted the lemon roll recipe from a vanilla roll, and added lemon zest and some lemon juice. The cream filling is basically just whipped cream flavored with lemon juice and a bit of caster sugar, with a few drops of yellow food coloring.

Wow! The yellow cream is so cute.
They look great!! Vida x
Thank you obachan and vida! My mom said the yellow color looks fake though hahaha.
Awww, so cute! How did you finally get to roll it up without cracking/breaking it? The cream puff on the side looks a bit like a banana... ^^!

Hello. I must say for someone like myself who hasn't got much of a sweet tooth generally, unless dessert has the tang of lemon in it, that looks divine. And also your light cheesecake a few posts back...maybe I'm becoming a convert!
Ting Ting : This is a different recipe, and I think one of the key is having a thinner batter. I've always make really thick batter before, they just couldn't stand the pressure. I still need expert advice on this though :)
Hehe, the cream puff on the side isn't a cream puff actually hehe. It was my..not very good attempt at decorating :p It's just the leftover whipped cream :)
Towser: Hello there! Thanks! Wow, it'll be great if I'm able to convert you! I'm still working on trying to convert my brother :p
Wow. Guess what. Your left-over cream looks better than my three-hour efforts... which melt before I'm halfway done ^^"!
