This nostalgic chocolate sponge is lighter than many people expect. With a soft vanilla cream filling, it is the kind of classic bake that feels familiar, generous and very good with coffee.

Serves: 6 people

Preparation time: 40 min

Ingredients

Eggs – 4
Caster sugar – 120 g
Plain flour – 85 g
Cocoa powder – 20 g
Baking powder – 1 tsp
Double cream – 250 ml
Icing sugar – 20 g
Vanilla extract – 1 tsp

Method

1. Heat the oven to 200°C and line a Swiss roll tin with baking paper.
2. Beat the eggs and sugar together for several minutes until very light and airy.
3. Sift in the flour, cocoa and baking powder, then fold in gently to keep the air in.
4. Spread the batter evenly and bake until the sponge springs back lightly.
5. Turn out onto a clean sheet of baking paper and peel away the lining paper.
6. Roll the sponge up loosely while warm, then let it cool.
7. Whip the cream with the icing sugar and vanilla.
8. Unroll the sponge, spread with the cream and roll up again before serving.
