An adult take on the childhood favourite cake roll.

Ingredients (10)

  • 5 eggs
  • 1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar, plus extra 1 cup (220g)
  • 75g plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 50g unsalted butter, melted, cooled
  • 1 tbs ground cinnamon
  • 200g creme fraiche
  • Elderflower sprigs, to serve

Elderflower drizzle

  • 1/3 cup (40g) pure icing sugar, sifted
  • 2 tsp elderflower cordial

Method

  • 1.
    Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 28cm x 39cm lipped-edge baking pan or Swiss roll pan and line with baking paper along the longest sides, leaving 2cm overhanging.
  • 2.
    In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk eggs and caster sugar for 6 minutes or until tripled in volume. Meanwhile, sift flour and baking powder into a bowl 3 times. Gently fold flour mixture and butter through egg mixture. Spread onto prepared pan and bake for 14 minutes or until centre of cake springs back slightly when pressed.
  • 3.
    Meanwhile, place a clean tea towel on a work surface with a long edge facing you and, using a fine sieve, dust all over with extra caster sugar and cinnamon.
  • 4.
    Working quickly, invert hot cake onto prepared tea towel and remove baking paper. Roll tea towel away from you to form a log. Set aside to completely cool.
  • 5.
    Meanwhile, for elderflower drizzle, stir ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Unroll cake and spread with creme fraiche. Re-roll cake and transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with some elderflower drizzle and scatter with elderflower sprigs. Serve with remaining drizzle.
