The daring Baker's Challenge "Swiss swirl ice cream cake" for July 2010 was rolled out by Sunita of Sunita's world life and food. Not only did we have to make swiss roll, two different flavors of ice creams and a chocolate fudge sauce were experimented in my little kitchen for the first time. Without doubt, this was the most time consuming challenge that I have done so far. Perhaps as I didn't have an ice cream maker but it was well worth the effort.
My grad school friend Uzoma visited me in Santa Barbara this month. Some of my early adventures into baking were carried out with her. Out of all the things she had to do at Santa Barbara, the daring bakers challenge was added on to her list by me as this was a wonderful way to re-live some of the grad-school memories ;) We spent almost a day and half (on & off) preparing this cake while watching World Cup Soccer finals and occasional trips to the beaches while ice creams and cake were settling in.
Making a dessert for a special occasion increases my enthusiasm towards it and this seemed like a perfect cake to bring to Prajna's going away BBQ party on the Beach. Attached picture is taken after the cake was kept in a cooler for about an hour - hence some signs of melting! Enjoy the recipe from the Daring Baker's site. This challenge has added some wonderful memories. Thank you Sunita for an excellent challenge.
