Classic Swiss Roll (Biscuit roulé à la confiture)

 Biscuit roulé à la confiture, inspired by Françoise Bernard's.
I found it very practical and easy to make with not much preparation...
only with a little adjustment for my version. Here we go...:)

Ingredients:

3 eggs (large)

100 g caster or sifted icing sugar 

1 sachet vanilla sugar or 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

30 g plain flour
30 g corn flour

a pinch of salt

200 g Raspberry or Strawberry Jam

For my aunt :-))
Filled roll is best eaten immediately!

Preheat oven to moderately hot 200°C. Line a 22 x 33 cm base the tin with grease-proof paper. 

To make the roll:

• Using electric beater, beat egg yolks, 50 sugar and vanilla essence in small mixing bowl over hot water until thick and pale.
• In another bowl, also over hot water, beat the egg whites and salt, until they stand in peaks. beat in the remaining sugar until they become glossy meringue;
• Sift the flour and corn flour onto grease-proof paper. Fold in rapidly half of the flour to the yolk mixture, then half of the whites, using a wooden spoon. Repeat with the rest of the flour as well as the whites until just combined.
• Spread mixture evenly into prepared tin; smooth surface. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
• Turn the cake out onto a dry, clean tea-towel covered with greaseproof paper that has been sprinkled with the extra sugar. Then using the tea-towel as a guide, carefully roll cake up with the paper; leave for 5 minutes or until cool. 
• Unroll cake, discard paper. Spread with jam; reroll. Trim ends with knife; decorate as desire.

Served with a cup of hot green tea 
or coffee:-))

Ta da! My Swiss Roll (Raspberry jam filling),
topped with reduced fat whipped cream! :-))

Hint: Jam is best beaten with a spatula for 30 seconds before it is applied to the cake. This will soften the jam and make it easier to spread.
