Mmmmmmmmm..... and bring it on with Rendang Swissroll
When we spilled the beans about serving up the mouthwatering "Sambal Swissroll" at the Melbourne Cake Bake & Sweet Show in 2022, folks went bananas for the recipe! Thanks to the generous Amazing Grace Lim for sharing her scrumptious Sambal Swissroll secret. The only hiccup? There was a mad rush for a bite-sized taste of the Swissroll, making it quite the tricky task to slice up those tiny tasters. .
Lucky are those who had a taste of this delectable, unusually savoury cake at the Festival of Cake on September 21-22, 2024, last weekend at the Timberyard in Port Melbourne, Melbourne. Swissrolls, including Sambal Tumis Swiss roll and Rendang Swiss roll were very well received.
Here is the complete recipe featuring the Sambal Anchovies and the Swiss roll sheet. You have the option to spread the Sambal Anchovies or Sambal Onions on the Swissroll sheet and roll it up. Alternatively, you can apply this yummy Sambal tumis on bread or incorporate it into pastry puff before baking. Enjoy the culinary experience.
