....Merhaba from Turkey....

Have an energetic early week! ^,^ 
How I remember when I was working a few years ago..... sometimes I hate Monday. Usually I should planned and arranged something at weekend before what could made me so exciting when I start my day at Monday...for example I watched cinema after work at Monday so I booked ticket earlier on Saturday or Sunday. And We usually had 50% discount for cinema at Monday! Or I made outside lunch appointment with my friend. My Office actually provided us lunch in canteen... so eating lunch outside sometimes can refresh me and made me more energetic doing my work for the rest of that day....

Well..... that was me back then years ago. And now, with wonderful and lovely little family I have... busy at home and provide my family with good food and happiness is my biggest obsession ^,^
Every time I tried some new recipe I would ask my husband what did he think about that food.... And he always teases me with his face and expression just like masterchef jury judge the foods... (^,^)

Now let's talk about our weekend dessert.... Pumpkin! Yes... as I mentioned on an earlier post... we are still in fall and pumpkin season.... A few days ago I made my pumpkin cheesecake bars no-bake, and it was gone in a flash.
And yesterday I made this yummy pumpkin pie... My kid loves it, husband likes it and this is becoming my favorite too ^,^ Try it..maybe it'll become fave on your family too...

And I will include this post into Indonesian Food Blogger Cookblog challenge with Pumpkin theme. Yaaayy...finally IDfb gather cook challenge again (after few long empty period).....

Almond Chocolate Swiss Roll Cake / Bolu gulung cokelat almond

For me making roll cake was very tricky. Sometimes end up with "cracking" in some part, other time end up 'shrinking' after comes out the oven. And after some bad experiences, finally I learn something for making this good looking cake.

Type of cake to make this roll cake is "airy" foam cake like sponge cake base recipe because it's flexible enough to being roll. So if you find "crack" on your roll cake it means your dough isn't moist and flexible enough when it being roll. Sprinkle your towel/napkin surface with icing sugar can help moist still during rolling process. And more important thing to make your dough moist is egg beating. The air 'trap' in the batter make cake flexible and moist. One more thing is baking condition. Do not bake it too dry but correct heat to make cake perfectly done. Tricky? NO, Just don't stop learning things d(^_^)b

My wish now, I can have very BIG steamer to make steamed roll cake .. *pray mode on  d(^_^)b

Ingredients:

- 6 eggs. Separate the yolks from whites.
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 100 gr dark cooking chocolate. Melt over double boiler.
- 1/2 cup almond meal (ground almond)
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- a pinch of fine salt
- Enough icing Sugar for dusting over napkin/ towel.
For cream and garnishes:
- Enough whipped cream ( I use about 400 ml) whipped until stiff
- Canned Cherry
- Cocoa powder (optional)

Kue Bolu Coklat (Chocolate Sponge Cake)

I remember once my late grandmother making this cake when I was young once and started to like making something simple in the kitchen. There were currently no electricity mikser that time, so my grandmother only use manual eggbeater that looks like a circular and supple pear, but strong. Too bad we do not keep it anymore. "Kue Bolu" is just we always call. 

Now with the various developments and culinary techniques this sponge cake now beginning to develop into a modern recipe with the addition of several 'emulfier' and other additional materials sponge cake is more popular and varied from simple old recipes. 

Trying again this old recipe without emulfier, this time I make chocolate version because my first intention is going to make tiramisu later from this basic sponge cake

Ingredients:
For pan size of 22 cm round.
-1/2 cup flour
- 1 +1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 5 egg yolks
- 4 egg whites
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 100 gr unsalted butter. Melted.
