Raspberry Swiss Roll

Ingredients

4-5 tablespoon raspberry jam
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
110g plain flour
2 tablespoon caster sugar
110g caster sugar

Method

Oven Temperature: 350ºF – 180ºC – Gas Mark 4 – Moderate
Grease and sugar the greaseproof paper, sides, and base
Whisk eggs, sugar, and vanilla essence together until the mixture is light enough to hold a figure of eight
Sieve the flour twice. Gently fold in the flour in two additions. This has to be a very gentle action as it is important not to let the air escape
If you see a bubble of air bursting, then you are folding in the flour too briskly
Once all the flour is folded in, pour into the prepared tin
Place in the pre-heated oven for approx. 15 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and firm to touch
Whilst the cake is in the oven – place a clean tea towel on the table top
Place a sheet of greaseproof paper on top of the cloth
Sprinkle with sugar
Turn the cake upside down onto the greaseproof paper on the cloth
Peel off the greaseproof paper lining
Trim edges carefully
Score one of the shorter edges, approx 1cm from the edge
Spread with jam, then keep a 2cm edge around the swiss roll free from jam
Wrap in the cloth and leave to cool
To serve: Cover with a small amount of sugar. Trim the sides. Cut into 8 slices
