Simple Jam Roll: Easy delicious roll

 Because I had a lot of things to do last month, and I felt it pass so fast, haha. 
Now, it's January, new year (again), I still have many things I want to do, the list of mine is longer and longer every years ^^. A lot of new games, anime, manga and concert, haha (no work in my list!!, as I have to do anyway, that's life).
Last year, my youtube channel just started, I learnt to edit the video, and have a lot of fun making them, and now I try to take the step by step photo and shoot the video at the same time. Because I know that it's easier to print the photos ^^. I made a lot of basic recipe, and think you're happy with them. This year, I will add more complex recipes to my channel, so stay tuned!
Today, it's another simple recipe, but I really want you to know that, simple recipes are important, and you have to master it, and later complicated recipe will be easy for you too. Basic jam roll, it's very easy sponge cake. With a little help from baking powder, the cake will be puffy. The key for making sponge are 1. whip the eggs and sugar until ribbon stage and 2. fold the batter lightly but quickly to prevent the bubble to become flat. So, let's try it together, even it's simple and easy, you will enjoy it, I'm sure.
