    SWISS ROLL RECIPE

    For the Sponge:

    4 large eggs (room temperature)

    100g caster sugar

    100g plain flour

    1 tsp vanilla extract

    Pinch of salt

    For the Filling:

    300ml heavy cream

    2 tbsp powdered sugar

    4-5 tbsp raspberry jam

    1 tsp vanilla extract

    Instructions:

    1. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Line a 33x23cm Swiss roll tin with parchment paper.

    2. Whisk eggs and sugar for 5-7 minutes until thick and pale (ribbon stage).

    3. Gently fold in flour, vanilla, and salt. Don’t overmix.

    4. Pour into prepared tin, spread evenly. Bake 10-12 minutes until golden and springs back.

    5. While baking, lay out a damp tea towel with parchment paper on top, sprinkle with sugar.

    6. Immediately turn hot sponge onto sugared paper. Peel off baking paper.

    7. Roll up tightly with the towel inside. Cool completely (30-45 minutes).

    8. Whip cream with powdered sugar and vanilla to soft peaks.

    9. Carefully unroll cooled sponge. Spread jam, then cream, leaving 2cm border.

    10. Re-roll without the towel. Wrap in plastic wrap, chill 2 hours before slicing.

    This was my third attempt practice makes perfect with Swiss rolls!
