Peach Swiss Roll Recipe
Ingredients
| Eggs | 3 | |
| 115 g / 4 oz / 1/2 cup caster sugar | ||
| 75 g / 3 oz / 3/4 cup plain flour, sifted | ||
| 15 ml / 1 tbsp boiling water | ||
| 90 ml / 6 tbsp peach jam | ||
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/ Gas 6. Grease a 30 x 20 cm / 12 x 8 in Swiss roll tin and line with non-stick baking paper. Combine the eggs and sugar in a bowl. Beat with a hand-held electric whisk until thick and mousselike. (When the whisk is lifted, a trail should remain on the surface of the mixture for at least 15 seconds.)
2. Carefully fold in the flour with a large metal spoon, then add the boiling water in the same way.
3. Spoon into the prepared tin, spread evenly to the edges and bake for about 10-12 minutes until the cake springs back when lightly pressed.
4. Spread a sheet of greaseproof paper on a flat surface, sprinkle it with caster sugar, then invert the cake on top. Peel off the lining paper.
5. Neatly trim the edges of the cake. Make a neat cut two-thirds of the way through the cake, about 1 cm / 1/2 in from the short edge nearest you.
6. Spread the cake with the peach jam and roll up quickly from the partially cur end. Hold in position for a minute, making sure the join is underneath. Cool on a wire rack. Decorate with glace icing or dusr with icing sugar before serving.
