                               3 oz. castor sugar, warmed

                               3 oz. self-raising flour, sieved

                               For the filling and top:

Cooking Time           

7-10 minutes              

 

Oven setting           

425ºF; Gas Mark 7     

 

Grease and line a shallow Swiss roll tin 9 by 12 inches. Take eggs at room temperature and whisk with sugar until mixture is light and creamy and leaves a trail when the whisk is lifted out of the mixture. Fold in flour, using a metal spoon.

 

Turn into prepared tin and smooth level with a palette knife. Bake in a hot oven for 7 to 10 minutes until sponge begins to shrink from edges of the tin and is pale golden.

 

Turn out on to a sheet of greaseproof paper dredged with castor sugar. Trim edges of sponge, spread with warmed jam and roll up tightly. Dredge with castor sugar and cool on a wire tray.

 

Quick Tip

 

For a smaller Swiss roll baked in a 7 by 11 inch shallow Swiss roll tin use: 2 large eggs, 2 oz. castor sugar, 2 oz. self-raising flour. Heat the jam just until it is easy to spread; if it is too hot it will soak into the sponge.
