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!

30 ml orange juice

1 tsp vinegar or 1/2 tsp cream of tartar

  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.

Snow Swallow Dessert ~ 天然野生雪燕

  Natural Wild Tragacanth Gum 'Snow Swallow' or Xue Yan is a gum derived from different varieties of sterculia trees.  It's actually a sap drained from the root of the plant and  the gum dries as it exudes and is then collected.  Once rehydrated will increase to about ten times in size and their white stringy, jelly like strands texture resembles that of the much prized and highly valued bird's nest.  One thing to take note when cooking this dessert is that the gum is highly soluble in water and cannot be boiled too long. Since it is 'cooling' for our internal organs, the elderlies should take this in moderation and not recommended for nursing mums for the breast milk may cause the baby to purge.
