Gluten Free Swiss Roll - Coeliac Sanctuary

I didn't even know I missed swiss roll until I made this. Completely gluten free and filled with sweet strawberry jam (you can use shop bought or homemade - homemade is nicer but shop bought is fine!) The sponge is beautifully soft too, just remember to "train" it while warm so it will roll later! You could always change it up a bit if you like, switch the jam for different flavours or even something like Nutella

Ingredients

4 large eggs
2tsp vanilla
100g caster sugar (plus extra for rolling)
85g gluten free plain flour
1tsp baking powder
60g melted sunflower spread (or margarine)

Preparation Time: 15 Mins
Cooking Time: 10 Mins

This recipe contains

Dairy, Egg

Method

1. Separate the egg whites from the yolks into two large bowls.

2. Whisk the egg yolks with vanilla and caster sugar until thick, creamy and pale.

3. Sift the gluten free flour, baking powder and melted margarine into the yolks and whisk until combined.

4. Whisk the egg white to stiff peaks, put a spoonful into the yolks and fold in, this just loosens the mix. Fold the remaining whites into the yolk mix.

5. Grease and line a 9" by 11" swiss roll tin and pour in the mixture, place in oven preheated to gas mark 4/180c and bake for 15-17 minutes until golden and springs back when touched.

6. Allow to cool for 5 mins then tip onto another piece of greaseproof paper, starting from one of the shorter edges roll up tightly in the greaseproof and allow to go completely cold.

7. Once cold gently unroll (rolling while hot helps prevent the cake from cracking) and spread jam over the sponge before rerolling again. Slice and eat!

You can use normal margarine (such as Stork) if Dairy Free is not required.
