Ingredients
- 4 free-range eggs
- 115 g caster sugar, plus extra for dusting
- 1 vanilla pod, seeds only (or 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste)
- 75 g self-raising flour
- 200 ml double cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200 g raspberries
- 150 g caster sugar (for jam)
- 1/2 lemon, zest and juice (for jam)
- 350 g raspberries (for jam)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190°C/170°C Fan/Gas 5. Line a 23×33 cm Swiss roll tin with baking paper.
- Whisk eggs, sugar, and vanilla until pale, thick, and fluffy.
- Sift in flour and gently fold through. Pour batter into tin, spread evenly, and bake 10–12 minutes until just firm.
- Turn sponge out onto sugared baking paper, peel off parchment, and let cool slightly.
- Whip cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Make jam: heat sugar, lemon zest, and juice until dissolved. Add raspberries and cook until thickened. Cool completely.
- Spread jam over sponge, leaving a border. Top with whipped cream and fresh raspberries.
- Using baking paper to help, roll sponge tightly from the long edge. Dust top with caster sugar and slice to serve.
Notes
- Roll sponge while still slightly warm to prevent cracks.
- Use shop-bought raspberry conserve if short on time.
- Try strawberries, lemon curd, or mascarpone filling for variations.
- Dust with icing sugar for a festive look.
- Sponge can be baked a day ahead and filled before serving.
