    Title: Strawberries & Cream Swill Roll
    Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Fruits, Dairy
    Yield: 5 Servings

    4 lg Eggs
    100 g Caster sugar
    100 g Self-raising flour

    MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
    150 ml Double cream
    25 g Caster sugar
    Seeds from 1 vanilla pod
    100 g Strawberries; thin sliced,
    - + extra whole strawberries
    - to garnish

    Line a Swiss roll tin measuring about 25cm x 15cm with
    non-stick parchment paper, leaving the edges sticking up
    over the sides. Preheat the oven to 180┬║C/350┬║F/gas 4.
    Whisk together the eggs and sugar until pale and creamy and
    doubled in volume.

    Sift the flour and fold into the mixture a little at a time.
    Pour into the prepared tin, spreading it evenly. Bake in the
    oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the sponge is just golden
    and lightly springy to the touch.

    Cut a piece of parchment paper slightly bigger than the
    sponge and dust heavily with caster sugar. Turn the sponge
    out on to the paper and carefully peel away the lining
    parchment. Leave to cool, covered with a tea towel.

    To make the filling, whisk together the cream, sugar and
    vanilla seeds until the cream forms fairly firm peaks.
    Spread over the sponge, leaving a 2cm border to allow for
    spreading when rolling up.

    Lay the sliced strawberries on top, then gently roll up the
    sponge to form a thick log. Transfer to a serving plate,
    making sure the seam of the sponge is facing down.

    Garnish with the extra strawberries and serve in thick
    slices. As an alternative to cream and strawberries, you
    could use good-quality strawberry or raspberry jam with some
    vanilla buttercream.

    Serves 4-6
