A swirly chocolate delight and great fun to make. Everybody remembers making swiss roll as a child...
Chocolate Swiss Roll
3 eggs
3 oz sugar
2 ½ oz flour
Filling
3 oz butter
½ oz cocoa
1 tbsp boiling water
5 oz icing sugar
vanilla essence
Line a flat shallow baking tin with baking paper.
Whisk the eggs and sugar until they are thick and light. Sieve in the flour and cocoa bit by bit and fold into the egg mix, lastly stir in the water.
Bake this spread out on the lined tin for 10 minutes at 200°C until firm. Take it out and while still in the tin, trim off the rough edges. Place another sheet of baking paper on top and while it is still warm, roll it up (as if it already had the filling inside) and allow to cool.
Cream together the butter, icing sugar and vanilla essence.
Carefully unroll the swiss roll and remove the paper. Spread in the filling. Roll back up and sprinkle with icing sugar.
