• 4 eggs
• 125g caster sugar
• 2 tablespoons warm water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 125g flour
For the filling
• 6 tablespoons strawberry or three-berry jam
• 225ml cream
- Preheat oven to 190degC.
- Line the base of a 25cm x 38cm swiss roll tin with baking paper, and brush with melted butter.
- Beat eggs and caster sugar together until light and fluffy, then add water and vanilla essence.
- Sift flour, and fold into wet ingredients.
- Pour mixture into baking tin and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the centre of the cake springs back when touched and the edges have shrunk away from the sides.
- Gently tip the swiss roll onto a piece of baking paper sprinkled with caster sugar. Remove baking paper from the bottom of the cake.
- Place a clean, damp tea towel over the cake for 30 minutes and allow to cool. The damp tea towel will prevent the cake from drying out.
- Meanwhile, make the filling. Beat the whipped cream until soft peaks form. Add jam, then beat until stiff peaks form.
- When cake is cool, dollop jam onto it, then a layer of whipped cream. Roll up the cake and sprinkle with caster sugar or decorate with a chocolate rose.
