Let me just say that any language I used while making this "swiss roll" was not neutral. I owe my child about $5 to his swear jar :(
I decided I was going to make this month's challenge gluten and dairy free. Gluten free for my sis-in-law and dairy free for my son. The dairy free aspect was no problem at all.
The gluten free aspect was a whole new story. I used this recipe here, which is a good recipe but I think I spread it to thin and also I added a bit of xanthum gum but I don't think it needed it.Needless to say it stuck to the parchment and tore which is like the end of the world for swiss roll making.
When I sliced it the ganache filling and the roll had no definition between each other and it looked awful when sliced so instead I made a Italian meringue and covered the bombe which gave it a baked Alaska look. From my pictures you can see the cake layer of what should have been swiss rolls. Oh well it tasted amazing and everyone got to eat it.
The July 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Sunita of Sunita’s world – life and food. Sunita challenged everyone to make an ice-cream filled Swiss roll that’s then used to make a bombe with hot fudge. Her recipe is based on an ice cream cake recipe from Taste of Home.
The recipe is posted as I made it but you can pick up the recipe at Sunita's site no probs.
