Ingredient

Method

3 A grade egg yolks 20g caster sugar　　 120g LP flour 70g milk 70g veg oil 100g homemade black sesame paste 3 A grade egg whites 70g caster sugar                                                                                                                                             Filling: (mix well) 150g cheese swiss buttercream 1 tbsp strawberry jam 1/2 tsp strawberry essence few drop red food coloring

1. Whisk egg white until bubble stage, gradually add sugar and whisk until soft peak form. Set aside. (if you may take longer time to prepare yolk mixture, may do this step after yolk mixture is done or temporary chill the meringue until ready to use.)  2. In another mixing bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar until light. 3. Add veg oil and beat until combined.  4. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in two- three additions alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, and mixing each addition just until incorporated. 5. Next, add 1/3 of meringue into yolk mixture and mix to lighten the batter. 6. Pour the mixture into the rest of the meringue and fold gently until well combined. 7. Pour into 40*27cm prepared tin and bake at 170C for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown. 8. Remove from oven and immediately loosen cake from sides of pan and turn upside down onto kitchen towel generously sprinkled with powdered sugar (optional, and the purpose is to prevent the cake stick on the towel). Carefully remove paper. Trim off stiff edges of cake if necessary. 9. While cake is hot, carefully roll cake and towel from narrow end. Cool on cooling rack at least 30 minutes. 10. Unroll cake and remove towel. Spread the filling and roll up the cake. Chill for 1 hour before served.
