My 150th post and A Sponge Cake Roll | Vanilla Swiss Roll !!!!!

How fast time flies off?It was a time when I just started the blog and now I have crossed 150 posts.I just can't believe my eyes because never thought I will be able to write the recipes and share with all..Never was worried about cooking..my only concern was to find time to click pictures and to write the recipe,Anyways I thank my family especially my two kids for their patience and now my elder son tends to ask me ,''Mom,Are you not clicking the photos??"So that he can grab it right away after that...And above all,the big rush of friends in the blog world have always tempted me to try out a new recipe..Thank you ,Friends..Am not mentioning the names of any one,it is each one of you at one time or the other supported my blog in a very pleasing way!!Thanx again and so thought to share a sweet recipe..Sponge Cake Roll!!

Baking for me just started after reaching US, initially it was the the cake mixes and then gradually shifted to cakes from scratch,then tried baked cutlets,broiled chicken and now finally this recipe was a challenging part as far as am concerned.Anyways I was happy at the outcome,never thought I can roll it...My elder son who is a fan of these rolls was the inspiration behind trying out this recipe.Hope you will all like it !!!
