FFwD - Blueberry-Mascarpone Roulade

Blueberry-Mascarpone Roulade

This is a perfect summer dessert!  Its light, not overly sweet.  You could use any summer fruit.  And the cake bakes in under 12 minutes so you don't run the oven too long, heating up the kitchen.  Bake the cake in the morning.  Prepare the berries and refrigerate them.  Make the filling in the afternoon, assemble the cake, let it chill for a few hours and you have a fantastic dessert that looks and tastes like you worked on it for hours.....and you did...but most of those hours were spent with a book, the components cooling and chilling and setting.

Our French Friday website is unmoderated lately but hopefully we'll be back on line soon! Go to Facebook to see what the other cooks thought!

Happy Friday the 13th:)  Be careful!

Our home away from home!
Do you think I can keep up with French Fridays in a travel trailer using a toaster oven and no fancy pans or equipment?  We'll see and I look forward to the challenge.  We just bought a 27 foot Slingshot and plan to give it a test run next week.  This has been a dream of ours for several years and we've begun making it a reality.  The lure of the open road and all that.......

    Oh, FF on the go... Whee!
    I don't have Facebook, so I guess I am missing out on all the FFwD happenings :-( I am still here though.
    Your roulade is lovely.

    Guyla - thanks for visiting my other blog, but I guess I should have been signed in with my more recent profile. (http://thefrillyapron.com). I'll be sure to check back in here to visit again soon.

    Oh, Guyla, this is an entire new chapter in FFWD Postings. I am anxious to hear of your adventures so I hope you will share those that even do not relate to cooking. Your roulade looks delicious and I agree, it was not as difficult as I had anticipated. So many ways to go with this festive dessert. Good luck on the road.
