Ingredients:

• For the Swiss roll:
• 3 – free-range eggs, approximate weight 160 g
• 75g – golden caster Sugar or normal powdered Sugar
• 75g – self-rising flour (can also use self-rising flour, normal plain flour ) with 1/4 tsp + 2 pinches baking powder)
• 1 tsp – vanilla essence
• For the filling:
• 3 tbsp – mixed fruit jam (or any jam of your choice or any whipped Cream / chocolate filling )
• For the outer covering:
• 3 tbsp – powdered Sugar

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 C .
  2. Grease and line a 23 cm x 30 cm Swiss roll tin.
  3. Gently shake the Swiss roll tin to coat the flour well and shake the excess flour.
  4. Sprinkle large sheet of greaseproof paper with castor sugar.
  5. Whisk the eggs and sugar in a bowl until fluffy.
  6. Fold in the flour and add vanilla essence and mix well.
  7. Pour this batter into greased Swiss roll tin evenly and bake in the oven for 7-10 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven and turn the sponge out onto another piece of greaseproof paper with castor sugar.
  9. For the filling, spread the jam onto the sponge evenly, leaving a small gap around the edges.
  10. Roll sponge away from you, so the jam is inside the roll and the outside is covered in caster sugar.
  11. Trim edges and keep aside to cool for half an hour later cut into desired shape and size.
  12. Dust with leftover castor sugar if required.
