BAKING: Delightful Rhubarb Pie

It's been awhile since I updated the last. The move to a new place was fast and smooth, but getting everything in place and going to work now that we have finally opened, have eaten a chunk of my time I thought I had. But now things have gone a lot smoother and I'm starting to have a daily schedule again, so I decided to bake something. That something being Rhubarb Pie. This recipe is from my Grandma, and I swear on this recipe. It's the best thing ever. You can use the base for any sweet pie. I've done apple pie and red berries pie in the past, but really, anything you can think on a pie works fine.

Now let's get to the fun part. Baking. The recipe after the jump!

BAKING: Gluten-free Chocolate Rollcake

This is one of my favorite recipes. And also my family keeps asking me to make these roll cakes very often. I've baked this roll cake more than any other pastry ever. It's delicious, fluffy and melts in your mouth. On top of all that goodness, it's completely gluten free!

Recipe:

3  eggs [ room temperature ]
1,5 dl  sugar
1,5 dl potato starch
1 teaspoon of baking powder
3 tablespoons of cocoa powder

The filling:

2 egg yolks
100 g butter
2 dl powdered sugar

1. Mix your eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Mix together potato starch, baking powder and cocoa powder.
3. Add the mixture into the egg and sugar fluff through a shift.
4. Gently mix them together.
5. Prepare a baking sheet with high edges and line with baking paper.
6. Scoop the mixture on the sheet and spread evenly.
7. Bake in 275C for about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it, but don't open the oven while baking.
8. Take another baking paper on the table and spread sugar on it. Take the cake from the oven and flip it over on the sugared paper. Remove the paper on the top. Let the cake cool.
9. Prepare the filling: Mix butter and powdered sugar first at slow speed and then high so the sugar won't go everywhere. Lastly add two egg yolks. If not using any egg yolks you can use a table spoon of vanilla extract.
10. Once the cake is cooled, spread the filling evenly on the cake. Then roll it neatly with the baking paper and set to rest in the fridge for few hours, so the filling sets. You can also put it in a freezer for 20-30 minutes.
