Chocolate swiss rolls
Yeah…I’m a guest blogger today! I was thrilled when Biren invited me to be her first guest blogger….wow! She said I can take my time to write it as she will still reserve me to be her first guest blogger…….what an honour! But of course I won’t keep her waiting too long. I was excited to write for her blog.
Biren is an amazing food blogger and friend. She is another lovely friend that I met through blogging. She is a very friendly lady and even though I have just known her for a short time, it looks like I have known her for a long time. Her zeal and excitement in life has always been an inspiration. She has a lovely blog, Roti n Rice, which is about 5 months old and is full of awesome home cooking and bakes.
Biren wrote a beautiful Mother’s Day guest post for me recently. It’s Mother’s Day Happy Healthy Brunch. It was very impressive and delicious that I feel like eating it everyday. For those who love okra like me, she has 2 lovely posts for that, Okra Salad and Okra and Chickpea Stew.
Chocolate swiss rolls with raspberry coulis
Well, after much thought, I think dessert is what I would do for the guest post. Desserts always speak of celebration and happiness to me. DESSERTS spelt backward is STRESSED. So I believe that desserts are great stress busters. Recently I have learned how to make chocolate swiss rolls. Oh….what joy! I made raspberry coulis, or sauce, to go with it. Instead of thick chocolate swiss rolls, I made them thin and so they look cute and pretty when cut into rings. They are very delicious served with raspberry coulis.

Have fun reading! If you are stressed up at any time, make this dessert. It will make you keep smiling!

I really like this specialty, your raspberry coulis is also perfect match for it.

I love swiss roll too…it’s very satisfying everytime I managed to roll up a swiss roll without breaking it to pieces! Yours really do look cute… it’ll be a challenge to roll up such a thin piece of cake. Hopping over to Biren’s now…

This is my favorite type of cake to make; what I like is that it is light, yet creamy and absolutely delicious! the raspberry coulis adds a nice tanginess to the richness of the cream and chocolate flavor.
