Dream cake

A cake that is fairly easy to make, and that always is appreciated by my family! Some simple modifications makes it a great yuletide treat :) The original recipe is better formatted than mine is. I reccomend it if you know swedish, lol.

Ingredients

there are two aspects to this cake, the cake itself and the buttercream. Make sure you read through all ingredients!

Cake

• 3 eggs
• 1.5 dl sugar
• 0.75 (3/4th) dl potato flour
• 2 tbsp cocoa
• 1 tsp baking powder

Butter cream

• 100g butter
• 2d dl icing sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla sugar
• 1 egg yolk

Materials needed are two (or three, if you're willing to wash that many) bowls, a mixer, a baking tray, baking paper (non-stick spray doesn't work all that well from what I've seen), and a knife or spatula! You'll also need an oven.

How to cook

Begin by putting your oven to 250 degrees Celcius.
Mix the egg and sugar until it's fluffy. Seperately mix flour, cocoa and baking powder. Carefully mix the two together. Put it onto your baking paper in your baking tray. Cook in the oven for 5 minutes
I've noticed that the top of the cake will get slightly burned. However, I just peel that off and snack on it as i make my butter cream :P

For the butter cream, mix the icing sugar with the butter, until fluffy. I tend to want my butter to be soft, and as I'm impatient I melt it halfway. Mix in vanilla sugar and the egg yolk.

Flip your cake onto a sugared surface, so that it's coated nicely in sugar. Spread the cream onto the cake, and roll it. You'll want to roll from the longer end. Let it cool before serving (or don't, I'm not your mum haha)

In order to make it more festive you can add cinnamon or gingerbread spices into the butter cream. For a cute look, I sometimes sprinkle icing sugar on top, and add snowflake sprinkles. Cute and delicious!
