Ingredients:

  • fat, for greasing
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 1/2 ml baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • caster sugar , for dusting

Directions:

  1. Heat the oven to 220C/Gas mark 7.
  2. Grease and line a Swiss roll tin 20 x 30cm.
  3. Whisk the eggs and sugar together in a bowl over a pan of hot water, taking care that the base does not touch the water.
  4. Whisk for 10-15 minutes until thick and creamy.
  5. (I recommend an electric mixer!) Remove from the pan and whisk until cold.
  6. Sift the baking powder with the flour and salt, and fold in lightly.
  7. Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 10 minutes.
  8. Meanwhile, if using jam, warm.
  9. When the cake is cooked, turn it onto a large sheet of greaseproof paper dusted with caster sugar.
  10. Peel off the lining paper.
  11. Trim off any crisp edges.
  12. Spread the cake with the warmed jam and roll up tightly.
  13. Dredge with caster sugar and place on a cooling rack with the cut edge underneath.
  14. Note: if the Swiss roll is to be filled with butter cream, cover with greaseproof paper and roll up tightly with the paper inside.
  15. Cool completely.
  16. When cold, unroll carefully, spread with the filling and re-roll.
  17. Dust with caster sugar.
  18. Variation: chocolate Swiss roll.
  19. Substitute 1 x 15 ml spoon cocoa for 1 x 15 ml spoon of flour.
  20. When cooked, roll up with greaseproof paper inside.
  21. When cold, prepare chocolate butter icing.
  22. Unroll carefully; spread with just over half the butter icing and roll up.
  23. Spread the remainder over the top and, if liked, mark with a fork to resemble a log.
  24. For a Yule log, put a robin or sprig of holly on top of the roll.
