Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 210°C, 410°F or gas mark 6½.
- Grease and line a swiss roll tin with cooking paper.
- Whisk the eggs, vanilla and sugar with an electric mixer or beater on high until the mixture resembles a thick stable foam and the mark from a spoon dragged through the mixture doesn't disappear.
- Sift in the flour, and very gently fold the flour in with a large metal spoon.
- Gently pour the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth out to the corners with a pallet knife.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Check the sponge is cooked by carefully running your hand over the top. It is cooked if your hand leaves a slight mark, which disappears quickly and springs back.
- Turn out immediately onto a cake rack covered with a clean dry tea towel. Peel off the cooking paper and allow to cool.
- Spread the sponge lightly with raspberry jam and roll into a tight spiral with the aid of the tea towel, starting from the longer side.
- Remove the towel and sprinkle with icing sugar.
- ...Or try lying a line of fruit across the sponge before rolling it, this then appears like the letters in a stick of rock.
