Homemade Indonesian Roll Cake (Bolu Gulung) with strawberry and cheese fillings๐
Roll Cake is absolutely their name. As it is made by rolling it to become in such a shape.
For your information, what makes Indonesian and Japanese roll cake different is that usually the Japanese style roll cake is made with higher proportion of egg whites (like chiffon cake), whereas Indonesian style roll cake uses a lot of egg yolk. I like both cakes, but for this post I made the one with more yolks.
Although it does not use a lot of egg whites but it still has a soft texture. I like how it taste like soft and solid (or I would say that it is "padet" in Indonesian language ๐
cos it is not dense but have that solid texture). It also use quite a lot of butter so your hand will be oily after eating this. But trust me, it worth the taste.
very soft and sweet๐
For me, what I really like about this cake besides the texture is the fillings ๐คญ and the best thing for making homemade roll cake is that you can fill it with anything you like
Since I really really really love cheese, I put a lot of it inside ๐คญ. But still a roll cake wouldn't be a roll cake if it has no strawberry jam , so here it is ๐๐
The original Bolu Gulung or Indonesian Roll Cake~~↓↓↓
For your information that the yellow colour is because of the egg yolk, no preservatives were used for this cake.
TIPS: make sure that u use a lot of yolks to make that flexible texture, otherwise it will break you roll it. Second, don't roll it directly after baking cos the top will stick to the towel or baking paper when you roll it after baking. Third, don't wait for too long, otherwise it will break as well. As you can see here timing is very crucial in baking ๐
This is just the start of my roll cake journey. The tips on drawing a cartoon character will be discuss in another time. Hope this is useful ~
