CHOCOLATE SWISS ROLL
I love this recipe, it is sooo easy to make but looks really special when done! Oh & it tastes fantastic too! I sometimes add fresh strawberries to the whipped cream for a nice change.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to moderately hot (200c). Lightly grease a swiss roll tin (12 x 10inch)& line the base with baking paper, extending the edges over the two long sides.
- Beat the eggs & 1/3 cup of the caster sugar with electric beaters until thick & creamy.
- Using a metal spoon, gently fold in the combined sifted flour & cocoa.
- Spread the mixture into the tin & smooth the surface.
- Bake for 10 -12 mins, or until the cake is just set.
- Meanwhile, place a clean tea towel on a work surface, cover with baking paper & sprinkle with the remaining caster sugar.
- When the cake is cooked, turn it out immediately onto the sugar. Roll the cake up from the short side - rolling the paper inside the cake.
- Stand the rolled cake on a wire rack for 5 mins, then carefully unroll & allow the cake to cool to room temperature.
- Beat the cream, icing sugar & vanilla essence until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the cream over the cake, leaving a 1/2 inch border all the way around.
- Re-roll the cake (without the paper). Place the cake seam-side down onto serving tray.
- Refrigerate until serving - dust with extra icing sugar before serving.
- Cut into slices to serve.
