Ingredients:  

(A)
4 egg yolks, room temperature
10g caster sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
25g oil
8g milk
65g plain flour
5g corn flour
1 tbsp Nescafe 
(B)
4 egg whites, room temperature
45g caster sugar


Filling: (Beat thickened cream and icing sugar together until light and fluffy)
95g thickened cream
10g icing sugar


  • Preheat oven to 160°C.  Brush a 22 x 32 cm Swiss roll pan with melted butter and line with baking paper.
  • Sift plain flour, corn flour and Nescafe together.  Set aside.
  • Using a hand mixer, beat egg whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl until foamy. Gradually add in sugar and beat until until soft peaks form . Set aside.
  • Using the same hand mixer, beat egg yolks, salt, sugar and vanilla extract until pale and thick. Beat in oil and then milk.  Fold in flour mixture.
  • Pour one third of the meringue into the egg yolk mixture using a hand whisk.  Then gently fold in the remaining meringue in two additions using a spatula. 
  • Pour the batter into the prepared tray.  Spread evenly using a scraper.  Knock the tray on the benchtop to remove air bubbles trapped in the batter.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the sponge feels springy to the touch.
  • Remove from pan.  Cover with baking paper and place on a wire rack to cool.

How to roll up a Swiss Roll:
  • Flip the sponge onto a baking paper larger than the sponge and peel away the lining paper.
  • Trim off the stiff edges with a sharp knife. 
  • Slice out a small strip of sponge on a 45 degree angle on both ends.
  • With one of the shorter edges of the sponge nearest to you, score a line approximately 2.5 cm away from the edge, cutting right across the sponge, making sure the cut is not too deep; this will help you when you start to roll the sponge.
  • Spread evenly whipped cream over the sponge.
  • Starting with the short edge and using the baking paper as a guide firmly roll up the cake.  Wrap in baking paper and place, seam-side down, on a baking tray.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set. Cut into slices to serve.
