Ingredients
- 4 eggs, separated
- 4 ounces caster sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 vanilla bean
- 3 ounces flour (all purpose or self raising)
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder (omit if using self raising flour)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (omit if self raising flour)
- icing sugar, for dusting
Method
- Set oven to 340 fan/375 and line the bottom of a 9x13 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- Whip egg whites with two tbsp of sugar and cream of tartar until medium peaks form.
- Whip egg yolks with remaining sugar and seeds from vanilla bean until yolks have doubled in volume.
- Sift half of dry ingredients into yolk mixture and whisk to combine.
- Add half of egg whites and whisk only until combined.
- Sift remaining dry ingredients into mixture and whisk to combine.
- Add remaining egg whites and fold in gently with a scraper until the egg whites are combined.
- Pour into pan and spread evenly, smoothing the top as much as possible to ensure even baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until sponge bounces back when pressed in the middle.
- Remove from oven and use an offset knife to loosen the roll from the edges of the pan.
- Dust with icing sugar amd turn out onto a clean tea towel. Remove the parchment paper and dust with icing sugar.
- While still warm from the oven, roll the sponge and allow to cool before unrolling. This will allow the sponge to reroll later without cracking.
- Unroll, add your favourite jam and/or cream filling and reroll. Cut the ends square and dust with icing sugar.
