Ingredients you will need:
For the sponge:
6 large eggs
1 cup caster sugar
1 cup self-raising flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Icing sugar, for dusting
For the filling:
1/2 cup strawberry jam
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
To start off, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper. This will ensure that your sponge cake doesn't stick to the pan.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and caster sugar together until light and fluffy. This step is important to incorporate air into the eggs, which will help the sponge rise and become light and airy.
Next, sift in the self-raising flour, baking powder, and salt into the egg mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to overmix as this will result in a dense and tough sponge.
Stir in the vanilla extract for a touch of flavor. Pour the batter onto the prepared jelly roll pan and smooth it out evenly with a spatula. Make sure to spread the batter all the way to the edges of the pan to ensure an even bake.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the sponge is lightly golden and springs back when touched. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This will make it easier to roll up without cracking.
In the meantime, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Once the sponge has cooled, carefully flip it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with icing sugar. This will prevent the cake from sticking to the towel and make it easier to roll.
Spread the jam evenly over the surface of the sponge cake and then top with the whipped cream. Starting at one end, use the towel to gently roll up the sponge. Don't worry if it cracks a little, that's part of its charm.
Place the rolled cake onto a serving plate and dust with icing sugar. For an extra touch, you can also add fresh berries or chocolate shavings on top. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. This will give the filling time to set and make it easier to slice.
And there you have it, a delicious and impressive Swiss roll sponge cake. With its light and airy texture and burst of flavor from the jam and cream filling, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. Give this recipe a try and enjoy a taste of Britain in your own home.
