My first go at using CoreBake was to make the lemon Swiss roll.
As I haven’t got any lemons, I made it with low sugar, blackcurrant jam and some whipped cream.The 25 minutes as suggested in the recipe was the perfect baking time, although I needed to set my fan oven a little lower in temperature as I think I slightly overbaked it.
It rose really well during baking and I didn’t think it would roll up in the tea towel as suggested, but surprisingly it did without any breaking or cracking.
The taste is fantastic. The texture is lovely and light.
Aesthetically it’s really good too. I’m very used to baking with almond flour and getting disappointing results on flavour, consistency and appearance. However, CoreBake It’s definitely different and a vast improvement. It gives the same consistency and colouring of when you bake with plain flour - definitely a very light, springy texture and the colour of a normal Swiss roll sponge.And it tastes like it too!
My husband said it wasn’t sweet enough, but the low sugar black current jam is quite sour and he has a very sweet tooth. He didn’t realise it wasn’t a normal sponge! I’m looking forward to trying the other recipes and hope that Yorkshire puddings and pastry will appear on the website soon!
