Method

To make the Swiss Roll: Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan assisted). Grease and line the base and sides of a baking tray with baking parchment. Sprinkle caster sugar over the paper.

Beat the eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl over a saucepan of simmering water until thick and creamy.

Remove the bowl from the heat and continue beating until the mixture is cool and forms a figure of eight when the beaters are lifted out of the bowl.

Sift the self raising flour into the bowl and with a metal spoon quickly and carefully fold into the mixture.

Spoon into the prepared baking tray. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden and ‘springy’ to the touch. Remove from the oven and leave for 5 minutes.

Place a clean tea-towel on the bench and top with a piece of baking parchment. Turn the sponge onto the baking parchment. Carefully remove the baking parchment from the sponge.

Roll up across its width enclosing the baking parchment as you go. Place on a wire rack and leave to get cold.

Unroll the sponge and spread with the strawberry jam and the whipped cream. Re-roll. Trim the edges. Dust with sifted icing sugar.
