For the sponge :
-
Preheat your oven and line a Swiss roll pan with baking paper and set aside.
-
Separate egg whites and yolks into two large bowls.
-
Add 40 g of sugar, vanilla and melted butter (cool it for 5 mins) to the egg yolks and whisk until pale.
-
Add remaining sugar and pinch of salt to the egg whites and whisk to soft peaks.
-
Loosen egg yolk mixture with 1/3 egg whites and then fold the rest in.
-
Sift in flour and fold gently until combined. Pour half of the batter into the baking tray.
-
Add Nutella to the remaining batter and fold it in. Spoon this over the vanilla batter at regular intervals. Use a knife or toothpick and start to create swirls. (Refer to picture below)
-
Bake at 180°C for 8-10 minutes.
-
Once the cake is ready, loosen it from the sides of the baking tray and tip it onto another tray. Invert it once again on to a tea towel. Place a sheet of baking paper on the cake and then roll it as you would a Swiss roll, along with the tea towel. This helps the cake retain its shape and keep it warm.
Assembly :
-
Now, whip up your cream along with some sugar to soft peaks.
-
Unroll your cake and take off the baking paper on the top. Spread an even layer of raspberry jam, then whipped cream and finally, chopped strawberries.
-
Roll your cake with the help of the baking paper on the bottom, gradually taking it off.
-
Set your Swiss roll onto a serving plate and allow it to set in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. Trim off the sides to get even slices and drizzle over some more Nutella and chopped strawberries before serving. Enjoy! :)
