Strawberry Jelly Roll: Pinky, cutie roll

One of my family's favorite cakes is roll cake, I think because it's soft and load with cream and flavor ^^.

You can make it with many kinds of cake, sponge, chiffon or meringue, but chiffon roll is the easiest  in my opinion. As it's very flexible than sponge, (as long as you don't overbake it) you will be able to roll it. Plus the method of making chiffon is very easy too, no beating egg into ribbon stage or folding flour into precious airy batter. 
This time rather than using fresh fruit, I turn fruit puree into jelly and use it as a filling instead. Fruit puree becomes useful when I don't want to go out (or can't find the fresh one), and it give the cake real and concentrated fruit taste too. 
As I just came back from my trip, there are so many things that I want to make but before that I have to crate the recipe for each menu ^^, so stay tuned for next both travel blog and recipe blog, I promise to bring you more delicious food and photo.
