Strawberry Swiss Roll




Strawberry Swiss Roll



3 eggs
¾ cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon water
About 10 strawberries
2 cups heavy cream
125g icing sugar
25g cocoa powder, plus extra to dust     




Direction:
1.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/). Sit a large heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water
2.
Add the eggs and sugar, and whisk for 5–10 minutes or until the mixture is thick and creamy. 
   Sift in the  flour and cocoa powder and fold in gently with a metal spoon.
3. Line the Swiss roll tin with baking parchment, then pour the mixture into the tin and level the top.
   Bake for 10 minutes, or until the sponge is springy to the touch. Remove from the oven, 
   cover with a damp   tea towel, and leave to cool.
4.
Turn the sponge out onto a sheet of greaseproof paper dusted with cocoa powder
5. Put the  heavy cream in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric hand whisk until creamy.
   Whisk in the   icing sugar a little at a time, then spread the mixture over the top of the sponge
   Using the greaseproof paper to help you, roll the sponge up, starting from one of the short sides.
   Dust with more cocoa powder, if needed, and serve.
