Strawberry Swiss Roll

It's been a long time since I had the motivation to bake a 'frosted cake' in the evening. Since I came back from my Australia trip after our National Day, I had been busy with the usual bakes and watching Korean Dramas. >v<

However, last evening, there was a sudden urge to want to eat swiss roll, so I decided to bake one myself. I had wanted to have pandan swiss roll, but I've used up my pandan extract. So ended up, I made a Strawberry Swiss Roll. The swiss roll was really soft and fluffy with the nice chantilly cream. I was satisfied.
