£10 PRIZE SPONSORED BY THE SOCIETY

109 Swissroll         Recipe 

Ingredients:  4 size 2 eggs, 4oz (100g) castor sugar,4oz (100g) self raising floor, For the filling: about 4 tablespoons strawberry or raspberry jam. Method: Pre-heat oven to 220C/425F/Gas7.  Grease and line a13 x 9 in (33 x 23cm) Swiss roll tin with greaseproof paper.    Whisk the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl until mixture is light and frothy and the whisk leaves a trail when lifted out. Sift the flour into the mixture, carefully folding at the same time. Turn into the prepared tin and give a gentle shake so that the mixture finds its own level and spreads evenly into the corners.        Bake for about 10 minutes or until the sponge is golden brown and begins to shrink from the edges of the tin. While the cake is cooking, place a piece of non-stick baking paper a little bigger than the size of the tin onto a work surface and sprinkle with castor sugar. Invert the cake onto the paper. Quickly loosen the paper on the bottom of the cake and peel off.     Trim the edges of the cake and make a score mark 1in (2.5cm) in from one shorter edge, being careful not to cut right through. Leave to cool slightly, and then spread with the jam. If the cake is too hot the jam will soak straight into the sponge. Roll up firmly from the cut end.
