    QUICK AND EASY SWISS ROLL

    Yield: Makes 8 slices
    Source: "Great Healthy Food: Diabetes" by Azmina Govindji

    INGREDIENTS

    - 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
    - Pinch of salt
    - 1 teaspoon baking powder
    - 3 medium eggs
    - 1/3 cup, plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    - 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
    - 3 tablespoons reduced-sugar raspberry jam, to fill

    DIRECTIONS

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

    Lightly grease and line a jelly-roll pan with parchment paper.

    Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl.

    In another larger bowl placed over a pan of hot
    water, whisk the eggs and sugar with an electric
    beater until they are thick and creamy.

    Add the vanilla extract and lightly fold in
    the flour mixture, using a large metal spoon.

    Tip the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out
    evenly to the corners and bake for 6-8 minutes. Remove
    it from the oven when it feels springy to the touch.

    Place a sheet of parchment paper on top of a clean dish
    towel and sprinkle the paper with the confectioners'
    sugar. Turn the sponge cake out onto the parchment
    paper, crust side down, and remove the paper.

    About 1 inch from one of the long edges, make a shallow
    cut halfway through the sponge cake. Fold this "cut" section
    over onto the rest of the sponge - this is the first "roll."

    Continue by using the parchment paper to
    carefully roll up the rest of the sponge cake.

    Leave the roll to cool on a wire rack and when it
    is cold carefully unroll it and spread with the
    jam about 1/2 inch from the edges.

    Roll it up again carefully and slice before serving.
