Nut marmalade Roll Cake

 This roll cake is very easy to make and it's wonderful!
You can make the cake without nuts if you are allergic or don't love nuts. For the cream filling I used  apricot marmalade that my mother made! Delicious! You can use whatever you like but using any kind of marmalade it's fast and yummy!
For kids you can make nut free sponge  only vanilla taste and strawberry marmalade filling, they will love it!
OK, so for this roll cake you need:

• 5 eggs
• 100 gr of sugar
• 1 tsp of vanilla
• 3 tbsp of oil
• 4 tbsp of water of milk if you prefer
• 2 tsp of baking powder
• 3 tbsp of grounded nuts, you can use almonds if you like
• 2 tbsp of flour 
• or you can use 5 tbsp of flour if you want to make it nut free)
• marmalade for filling

Preheat the oven to the 390 degrees.

Beat the eggs and sugar to make a foam. Add oil, water (milk), vanilla, flour, nuts and baking powder.

Prepare baking pan and line it with baking paper. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for a 15 min!

Soon as you peel of the baking paper from the sponge, put the sponge on the kitchen rag and roll while it's hot! And leave it to cool down.

Roll out the sponge carefully and spread out the marmalade, roll in again. You can decorate or leave like that.

Enjoy!

Then add dry ingredients slowly mixing. On the end add milk and mix it to combine batter.

With ice cream scoop place the batter in muffin pan. Bake maximum 15 min! Do not over baked them. They will be dry. It's OK for them to be little soft on the top when you pull them from the oven.

Leave them on cooling rack.

With mixer prepare butter and powder sugar together, melt the white chocolate, pour  it slowly into the butter-sugar mixture and mix it nicely. Leave it in the fridge for 15-20 min.

Put the frosting into the piping bag or if you don't have it, you can put it into the zip lock bag and cut of one end of the bag. Pipe it as desire onto the base.

Ricotta bread without yeast!

Sometimes my family ask for quick and fresh bread from our oven. And I made one recipe that I use in that cases. Because the dough is with baking powder, we have fresh and delicious bread in one hour (kneading + baking)! When I don't have ricotta cheese in my fridge I use mayo and Greek yogurt! It sounds weird but trust me, you will be delighted with fresh bread in one hour making! So let's begin with the ingredients.
Ingredients:

• 250 gr + 50 gr (2  + 1/4 cups) of flour
• 1 egg + 1 egg
• 4 tbs of ricotta cheese or if you don't have ricotta cheese you can do 2 tbs of mayo and 2 tbs of Greek yogurt. 
• 50 ml (1.7 oz) of milk
• 3 tsp of baking powder
• 1.5 tsp of salt

Preheat oven to a 430 degrees.

Mix dry ingredients, 2 cups (250 gr) of flour first, you can add more flour after, if you  need to.  Then add ricotta, egg, milk into the flour.  Kneed well, until you make a lovely ball shape. The dough suppose to be soft and airy. Roll the dough into a circle 1 inch thick. Then roll the circle from one end to another, making a loaf.

Place the loaf into a baking pan with baking sheet.

Break down the egg with a fork, and coat the loaf with it.

If you want sprinkle course salt, sesame and flax seeds on the top of the loaf.

With kitchen scissors snap the top of the loaf  several times. 

Bake the bread 20-25 min! 

The brad is very nice the day after baking, or like a toast. Just keep him covered with the dome or in the air tight container.

Enjoy 💖👄🥖🍞
