Swiss Roll with Buttercream & Grated Cheese

Swiss roll may be a little daunting for the beginner baker because everything can go wrong .. the cake might crack, batter too sweet etc

For this recipe it's a really basic Swiss Roll. You can use jam, Nutella, or Buttercream like I did .. I like Buttercream .. I'm old school like that :-)

Recipe :

4 eggs
85g fine castor sugar

Whisk on high until really fluffy

50g cake flour or all purpose flour
10g corn flour
1/2 tsp baking powder

Sift the above ingredients into the egg mixture

85g melted salted butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Whisk the dry ingredients into the egg mixture and drizzle the melted butter and vanilla extract into the mixture.

Pour mixture onto a greased and lined tray (26x26) and bake at 180degrees for 20-25 min.

Now comes the tricky part. Lay a clean tea towel and sprinkle with castor sugar. Flip the hot tray over the teatowel. Peel away the greaseproof paper and let cool.

Buttercream Filling

100g salted butter
100g icing sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Cheddar cheese 1/2-1 block

Whisk the butter and sugar until fluffy and almost white in Colour. Chill until the cake is cooled. Spread the buttercream on the cake and grate cheddar cheese over the buttercream. Roll the cake carefully and tightly and dust icing sugar on top
