Swiss Roll

Cakes, Biscuits and Bread  

Ingredients

3 Egg(s)
3 Tbsp Caster sugar
3 Tbsp Plain flour
1 Tbsp Milk
1 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Vanilla essence

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 190�C.

Separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites until stiff, then add the egg yolks followed by the sugar still beating. This stage can all be done in a food processor.

Fold in the sifted dry ingredients. Then fold in the milk and vanilla essence. Line a greased baking tray with greaseproof paper or baking parchment. Pour the mixture into the tray and bake for 7 to 10 minutes.

When cooked turn out immediately onto a damp cloth or tea towel sprinkled with caster sugar. Remove the paper from the base of the cake and trim the crisp edges. Spread with jam or other filling and gently roll up.

Notes

If the filling is cream, you will need to roll the cake up while it is warm, then unroll it when cool to add the filling before rolling it up again.
