Cup of Yum
Rolling and filling
- Sprinkle two sheets of baking paper (slightly larger than the swiss roll tins) with caster sugar.
- Carefully flip the warm sponge onto the baking paper sheets (and peel away the baking paper the sponges were cooked in).
- Use the baking paper to roll the sponges up firmly and leave to cool completely.
- When the sponges are cool, unroll gently. Spread the jam or cream (or both) filling evenly over the surface of the sponge, leaving a gap of about 5 cm at one end. Slowly roll the sponges up again.
- Serve with the open edges on the bottom to keep the sponges tightly rolled. Dust with icing sugar.
