Ingredients 1 swiss roll baking tin (12"x10") 3 eggs 1/2 cup caster sugar 1/4 cup plain flour 2 tablespoons cocoa 1 cup cream 1 tablespoon icing sugar ( plus extra to dust) 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence Directions Preheat oven to moderate heat (200c)/400F. Lightly grease a swiss roll tin (12 x 10inch)& line the base with baking paper, extending the edges over the two long sides. Beat the eggs & 1/3 cup of the caster sugar with electric beaters until thick & creamy. Using a metal spoon, gently fold in the combined sifted flour & cocoa. Spread the mixture into the tin & smooth the surface. Bake for 10 -12 mins, or until the cake is just set. Meanwhile, place a clean tea towel on a work surface, cover with baking paper & sprinkle with the remaining caster sugar. When the cake is cooked, turn it out immediately onto the sugar. Roll the cake up from the short side - rolling the paper inside the cake. Stand the rolled cake on a wire rack for 5 mins, then carefully unroll & allow the cake to cool to room temperature. Beat the cream, icing sugar & vanilla essence until stiff peaks form. Spread the cream over the cake, leaving a 1/2 inch border all the way around. Re-roll the cake (without the paper). Place the cake seam-side down onto serving tray. Refrigerate until serving - dust with extra icing sugar before serving. Cut into slices to serve.
