Answer 1

Ingredients

2 large eggs
1/2 cup superfine sugar
3 heaped tablespoons cake flour
pinch of salt
1/2 tablespoon of best cocoa or chocolate powder
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon warm water
(see measure conversions for more information)





Method

- Break the eggs into a basin and add the sugar.
- Place basin over a pan of warm water and beat mixture until it thickens.
- Add the water and vanilla extract.
- Sieve the flour with the cocoa or chocolate powder and, using a metal spoon, fold this into the egg and sugar mixture.
- Line a Swiss roll tin (long flat tin) with greaseproof paper and pour the mixture into it.
- Bake at gas mark 6 (see temperature conversions) for 10 to 12 minutes.
- When cooked, the sponge should be springy to the touch.
- Turn it out onto a cloth sprinkled with superfine sugar and spread it with a layer of chocolate butter cream icing.
- Carefully roll the sponge into a roll using the cloth to ease it into position.
- When rolled into a nice log shape cover with the remainder of the butter cream icing and use a fork to make it look like the bark of a log.
- Decorate with holly and robin cake decorations and dredge with a little confectioner's sugar to look like snow.
