Does anyone have a good recipe for a swiss roll?

Question

With references as to where it's from too, if possible.

Answer 1

From BBC website - Swiss Roll - comes out lovely. An alternative which is also great is to add some cocoa to the mixture and then fill with choc flavoured cream - mmmm delicious.

Preparation time less than 30 mins

Cooking time 10 to 30 mins

Ingredients
4 size 2 eggs, at room temperature
100g/4oz caster sugar
100g/4oz self-raising flour
For the filling:
approx. 4 tbsp strawberry or raspberry jam



Method
1. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7. Grease and line a 33x23cm/13x9in Swiss roll tin with greased greaseproof paper.
2. Whisk the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl until the mixture is light and frothy and the whisk leaves a trail when lifted out. Sift the flour into the mixture, carefully folding at the same time. Turn the mixture into the prepared tin and give it a gentle shake so that the mixture finds it's own level, making sure it spreads evenly into the corners.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the sponge is a golden brown and begins to shrink from the edges of the tin.
4. While the cake is cooking, place a piece of non-stick baking paper a little bigger than the size of the tin on to a work surface and sprinkle it with caster sugar.
5. Invert the cake on to the sugared paper. Quickly loosen the paper on the bottom of the cake and peel it off. Trim the edges of the sponge with a sharp knife and make a score mark 2.5cm/1in in from one shorter edge, being careful not to cut right through.
6. Leave to cool slightly, then spread with jam. If the cake is too hot the jam will soak straight into the sponge. Roll up the cake firmly from the cut end.

Answer 5

Shame on you Barksalot. No, you first must roll the swiss in snow, then when covered, roll him down the hill. The first layer helps the rest stick better. Cheeky lad indeed!
