Cakes

For Hawai’i folks, I think the mere sight of this frosting on this cake will trigger some good memories, even if my execution is pretty wonky! In Hawai’i, this is called chantilly frosting, though outside of the state, chantilly refers to more of whipped cream frosting. For me, this frosting found a place in my heart via a supermarket single-layer german chocolate cake sold frozen in an aluminum pan.

I’ve always wanted to make a jelly roll, seeing the calamities on shows like the Great British Bake Off definitely made me apprehensive. But, I believe in the the recipes from our kupuna and this recipe did not disappoint. You don’t need a special jelly roll pan. I baked this on parchment paper in a rimmed cookie sheet.
