Anyone who knows me, knows I’m a Milo lover! I even got the hubs addicted to having an iced Milo every night. I tried using the usual swiss roll recipe that I usually make to create this. But it turned out very dry and the cake cracked when rolled. So I modified the recipe and omitted butter all together. I suppose this recipe is healthier. Because this recipe was kind of an impulsed trial run, I didn’t take any picture of the steps. 🙁
Ingredients
- 4 eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp cake flour
- 2.5 tbsp Milo powder
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp hot water
- 1/8 cup sour cream (I used low fat)
- 1 cup whipping cream*
- 1/4 cup condensed milk*
Method
- Preheat oven to 180*C
- Lined baking tray with parchment paper
- Beat the egg yolks on med-high, add vanilla, and 1/4 cups sugar until light yellow n fluffy (refer to this post on how the eggs should look like)
- Sift salt, baking powder, and cake flour together
- Dissolve Milo powder in hot water, then stir in the sour cream until combined
- Beat egg whites until soft peaks formed, gradually add 1/4 cup sugar and beat till firm peaks are formed
- Combined the egg mixtures by folding in the yolk mixture into the white in 2 batches
- Fold in the Milo mixture
- Pour batter into prepared tray
- Bake for 12-14 mins
To roll
- Let cool for 5 mins
- Turn the cake out on to another clean parchment paper on your counter-top
- Remove the baking paper attached to the cake
- With the help of the bottom baking paper, tightly roll cake and leave to cool completely on a wire rack
Filling
- Whip the cream on med – high speed
- Slowly add in the 1/4 cup condensed milk
- Beat for about 5 mins, checking every now and then that the cream is formed. It should be like the firm peaks. Make sure you do not over beat or the cream will separate!
Assemble
- Unroll the cooled cake
- Spread all the cream on the cake
- Roll back and chill for an hour before serving
Bon appetit!!
