Orange Swiss Roll with marmalade ~ 香橙瑞士卷蛋糕


I made this soft and moist orange roll cake, stuffed with marmalade  to serve as a mid-morning snack, afternoon tea or a guilt-free dessert after dinner.  Also one can indulge with a steamy hot cup of tea, next to a slice of this yummy dessert.  Enjoy!

  2.  Whisk egg yolks with sugar, add in oil and juice.  Fold in sifted flour, mix well.
  3.  Beat egg whites till bubbles appear, add in vinegar, beat till frothy and gradually add in   sugar and beat till stiff peaks form.
  4.  Fold egg whites into the flour mixture and mix till well incorporated.
  5.  Pour the  batter onto a lined 10 x 10 inch square pan.  Tap the pan to remove any air bubbles.

  8.  Let cake cool completely.  Flip the cake over, brown side down, spread marmalade jam onto the cake leaving a 1/2 inch gap all round and roll up the cake.
  9. Wrap the roll with parchment paper and chill in the fridge for a few  hours or overnight, before slicing to serve.

Mini lime marmalade chiffon cake

These little chiffon cupcakes were made with lime marmalade.  Other than orange marmalade I've never come across lime marmalade and so this went into my shopping basket when I was in Perth last.  It's slightly more sour than orange marmalade but it's delicious when you have it with butter or peanut butter slathered on a slice of freshly baked bread or toast!
