Roly Poly pudding

[Hot_Chocolate]

Has anyone here ever had roly poly pudding? Is it nice or ?

Reason I am asking is, we are eating with friends over the weekend and they asked if I would mind bringing roly poly pudding....

It's quite a task to make properly.

But it's quite lekker.

 

[Azrael]

Yeah, it's quite tasty! I enjoy it..with some custard on it obviously.

Very nice but sweet for someone like me that prefers sour things. Has to be served with hot custard.

My mom has an excellent recipe, have not had it in years.

Never heard of it, what is it?

Short cake? What is that? I know shortbread, but that is something different.

Is this that flat cake which you spread with jam and cream then roll it up? Isn't another name a Swiss Roll?

That's something else, it's made with sponge cake.

This is basically the roly poly that I know:

Just minus the apple bits, rolled up tighter with apricot jam..and perhaps a bit more syrupy

Also made as a single long roll which you cut afterwards and yes definately more syrupy on the outside. Dont forget the custard.

Wonder what it would taste like with strawberry jam?

Dough, jam and sugar.....too sweet for me.

Roly Poly is a desert of shortcake and jam in the middle with a sweet apricot sauce basted over it.

A Swiss roll is just a normal layer of cake rolled up with jam in between.

There's no added sugar to the rolly poly, only the jam, which should be spread thinly and evenly. The pudding is basically THAT, sliced up in a 10cm deep oven proof glass bowl thing, with liquor based syrup (not sweet) usually covered in custard (which *COULD* be sweet but isn't if combined with the jam/liquor)
