Day 93 - Apricot Swiss Roll

I made these quite often in South Africa but am not sure that I've made them in Canada yet. I took this to Dadoos and Dadda tonight and unfortunately forgot to take a photo before it all disappeared.... sorry!! :D Anywho here is the recipe!

Ingredients:
3 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
110g sugar
75g flour
2-3 tbsp jam of your choice
Sugar for the outside (about 1/4 cup)
clean and damp dish towel

Method:
preheat oven to 410F. Grease and line a swiss roll tin (cookie tray with rim 10X15X1inches) with parchment paper. Whisk eggs, vanilla and sugar together until thick. sift in flour and gently fold in with large metal spoon. Pour batter into tray and smooth with a spatula. Bake for 8-10 minutes until cooked. While the cake is baking lay the damp dish towel on a wire rack and sprinkle liberally with sugar. When the cake is cooked take it out of the oven and lay it on top of the dishtowel with the parchment paper facing up. Gently roll up with cake with the towel on the outside and the paper on the inside. Leave for 5 minutes to cool. Use a fork to whip up the jam. gently unroll the cake and remove the paper. Spread the jam over the cake and slowly roll it back up - this time without the cloth. Slice off the two messy ends and you are ready to slice and serve it - well once it cools down.

Enjoy :D
