Hallo everyone on hive. How was your week? What's news on your end? As i said before I'm staying in a small town and not much is happening here. We keep ourselves busy with everyday things and hobbies but mostly baking. Baking set my mind at ease. In this post im going to show you how i made homemade jello rolls and cake. But let's start of with my cake. is a two layer cake baked in twenty cm pans. I lightly butter the pans and put in some wax paper it's just easier for me to get the cakes out of the pan.
I divided the dough and put some cocoa powder in one half the other half is vanilla flavor.
and i could not find my little plastic device that i always use with this cake. This time i use a hard peace of cardboard to put in the middle of the pan then i put chocolate dough on one side and vanilla on the other side and remove the peace of cardboard slowly. and then i used a butter knife to marble the dough as you will see it's a beautiful picture.
Then its time to bake. it takes only thirty minutes to bake.
When i took them out of the oven i let them cool for a few minutes then it's time to but in some jam in the middle of the two beauty's so that they can stick together.
I wanted to leave them just like that but the kids wanted icing so i wasn't sure what to do but they said i must try to make a bee on the cake because the cake was for foodies bee hive so i tried.
its short of an bee 🐝 but I'll leave the drawing on cakes for the people how know what they are doing. drawing is not for me.😄
Now at long last it's time for the

Stir until dissolved. if its not dissolving ,microwave the mixture for 30 seconds and keep stirring. Repeat until you get it all dissolved.
Add the marshmallows and microwave for another 30 seconds.
Mix together until the marshmallows are completely melted.
Pour mixture into a greased 8×8 pan and refrigerate for at least an hour.
Use a knife to cut around the edges of the pan to release the jello.
roll the jello as tightly as you can.
Cut into 1cm wide pieces using a sharp, thin knife
notes
The marshmallows will rise to the top of the jello mixture as it sets, so there's no need to make two different mixtures
the jello rolls is a nice snack and it's not to sweet especially if you have little ones in your home how is always hungry and on the lookout for something to eat. It's a fast and easy recipe. i will post some photos and the recipe here for you i hope you will try it i don't think you will be disappointed. And i know its not the healthy choice but its the delicious one.
