Ingredients

Eggs – 2

Powdered Sugar – 2/3 cup

Zest of ½ an orange

Flour – 1/2 cup

Vanilla essence – 1 tsp

Filling/ Topping:

Thick Yogurt – 4 tbsp (or fromage frais)

Light Cream – 200ml (20-30%)Zest of ½ orangeCastor sugar – 2 tbsp

Strawberries – 225gms

Directions

Preheat the oven to 190degrees C.

Line a 12 X 8” Swiss roll tin with butter paper.

Whisk the eggs + sugar + vanilla essence + rind until thick; approximately 10 minutes till mousse-like.

Fold in the flour with a metal spoon very carefully; try not to knock out any air.

Pour batter into tin and bake for 15-20minutes/till done.

Turn the cake onto a kitchen towel, sprinkled with Castor sugar, remove the butter paper, roll up gently & leave to cool.

Meanwhile, to make the filling, put the cream + rind + sugar in a bowl and beat well until thick.

Whisk the yogurt until smooth & gently mix in. Divide the mixture into 2 bowls.

Chop ¾ of the strawberries and fold into 1 bowl for the filling. Slice the remainder for the top. Reserve a few leaves too if you like, or use fresh mint leaves.

Unroll the sponge and spread the strawberry filling, leaving 1/2 and inch at the edges. The filling will get pushed out as you roll the sponge. Roll the sponge gently, but firmly, and lay in a serving dish with the edge underneath. (to prevent it from opening/unrolling).

Spread the second bowl of cream over the top, decorate with sliced strawberries and mint leaves, and dust with icing sugar.

Chill well before serving.

Note: This can be made with other seasonal soft fruit like blackberries, blueberries/rasberries etc. Also, for those who like toasted almonds, you can include them in the topping.
