I bought a bottle of Strawberry Jam last week and till today, it is still full sitting in my fridge. It's not that I don't like Strawberry jam but this jam that I bought from Isetan was kind of sour. I think because it is low in sugar content thus, that makes it sourish?

Was thinking of trying to use up this jam asap else it might just sit inside the fridge for years! Thus, decided to bake a swiss roll. This recipe was adapted from Flower Bee . The cake is truly smooth BUT my cake did not came out to how Flower Bee ones did :(

I had no problem rolling it up but if only it would have the effects like the ones Flower Bee baked, it would be perfect! Hubby said that mine had the kind of Cheesecake texture, erm without the cheese taste. You know!!! I want it spongy and soft not that kind! Sigh, is it because I did not add in Cream of Tartar? Why why tell me why :'(

Anyway, I seriously need to get myself a proper Swiss roll pan. I am using my cookie pan to bake swiss rolls so that is why my swiss rolls are always fat? LOL!
