INGREDIENTS

    •    4 eggs, separated 
    •    1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar 
    •    120 g caster sugar 
    •    75 g plain flour 
    •    20 g cornflour 
    •    1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
    •    Extra caster sugar, for dusting
Method

  • Whisk together the egg whites, cream of tartar and caster sugar in your stand mixer until a thick glossy meringue formed. A good 4-5 minutes here
  • Drop in the egg yolks and sift over the flours before mixing through until well combined. Spread the sponge mixture out onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake at 180C fan forced for 12-13 minutes
  • Dust a clean tea towel with caster sugar and invert the cake onto the tea towel. Taking the bottom edge, begin to roll the still-warm cake into a log. Allow the cake to cool completely once rolled up before filling with lashings of jam and whipped cream. Set in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving
