SWISS ROLL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and line a 16 x 28cm Swiss roll tin with baking parchment.
• Beat the eggs and sugar together for 5 mins with an electric hand whisk until thick and pale. Gently fold in the flour in two batches using a large metal spoon. Pour the mixture into the tin and gently ease into the corners. Bake for 10-12 mins until golden and firm. Be careful not to overbake, or the sponge will break when rolled.
• While the sponge is baking, sprinkle 2 tbsp sugar over a square of baking parchment. Warm the jam in the microwave for 20 secs.
• Turn the baked sponge onto the sugared paper. Peel off the lining paper and spread the sponge with the warm jam. Roll up from the short edge using the paper to help you then cool on a wire rack.

COFFEE SWISS ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F and line a 12x18 inch baking sheet with cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper that extends a bit up to the edges of the pan. Grease the parchment paper well with cooking spray, too.
• Sift together flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder and baking soda in a bowl. Add the salt and set the mixture aside.
• In another bowl, stir together egg yolks, oil, water, vanilla extract and the cooled coffee mixture. Add half of the flour mixture and mix until incorporated. Add the remaining flour and stir the batter until smooth.
• In the bowl of your stand mixer (or use a handheld mixer), whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar while the mixer is still running and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
• Using a rubber spatula, add a little amount of the egg whites to the yolk batter and stir until the mixture is smooth and has thinned down a bit. Fold the remaining egg whites to the yolk batter in three additions and stir until the color is uniform. Pour batter into the prepared baking sheet and bake at 350 F for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Remove cake from the oven and transfer it with its parchment paper onto a wire rack to let it cool to room temperature.

SWISS ROLL

Steps:

• Despite appearances, Swiss rolls are in fact very simple to make. The cake itself has no butter in it, so you can feel justified in spreading it with lashings of jam and whipped cream. Use any kind of jam you like; apricot or blackberry, for instance, would do just as well as raspberry or strawberry.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Line the base of a 10 by 15-inches Swiss roll or jelly roll pan with greaseproof or parchment paper. Brush the base and sides of the pan with melted butter, and dust with flour.
• In a large bowl or in an electric food mixer, whisk the eggs, and sugar together, until light and fluffy, and then add the water, and vanilla extract.
• Sift in the flour, about a third at a time, and using a large metal spoon, fold it into the egg mixture.
• Pour the mixture gently into the prepared pan, and bake in the oven until the center of the cake is slightly springy and the edges have shrunk a little from the sides of the tin, about 12 to 15 minutes.
• Spread out a piece of parchment paper (slightly larger than the tin in size) on a work surface and sprinkle evenly with caster sugar (this stops the roll from sticking to the paper). Turn or invert the pan onto the sugared parchment paper, and then carefully remove the tin and parchment paper from the bottom of the cake.
• Place a slightly damp, clean tea or kitchen towel over the cake while it cools- this will prevent it from drying out and cracking when you roll it.
• When the cake is cool, spread the jam sparingly over the cake, leaving a 1-inch border. Repeat with the whipped cream. With the longest side facing you, roll up the Swiss roll away from you, then transfer to a plate to serve. Sprinkle the cake with caster sugar or dust with icing sugar to finish.

CHOCOLATE SWISS ROLL

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Line a 22 x 32cm swiss roll tin (if it's 20 x 30cm that's still fine) with baking parchment. Sift the flour and cocoa powder together into a bowl and set aside.
• Crack the eggs into another bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer and tip in the sugar. Use an electric whisk or the whisk attachment to beat the eggs and sugar together for 5 mins until pale and very thick. Use a spoon or spatula to gently fold in the flour mixture until completely incorporated and everything's the same colour with no streaks.
• Gently scrape the mix into the tin and spread to the corners. Bake for 9-10 mins until puffed up and springy to touch. While the cake is baking, get another piece of parchment a little larger than the tin and scatter it with sugar. When the sponge is cooked, use oven gloves to carefully invert it onto the sugar-coated paper. Lift off the tin and peel away the top layer of parchment. Score a line 2cm from one of the shorter edges, then use the parchment to roll the sponge into a spiral with the parchment running through it. Leave the rolled sponge to cool completely.
• While the cake is cooling, make the filling by whisking all the ingredients together until the cream stiffens. Unroll the sponge and spread over the filling, leaving the scored edge clear. Starting from the scored edge, use the parchment to roll the sponge up around the filling. Lift onto a board or serving platter and dust with icing sugar. Can be served straight away or chilled for up to 24 hrs. Serve in slices.
