Steps

1

Prepare your ingredients, separate the egg whites and yolks
2

Take the egg whites, add in the salt and using a hand mixer start to mix
3

Add 60gms of the sugar in bits to the egg whites as you continue mixing, the rest of the sugar will be used later
4

Beat for around 8 min till stiff peaks form, then keep aside
5

In the other bowl with the yolks, add the remaining sugar and mix till pale yellow
6

Add in the milk, oil and essence and continue mixing till everything is incorporated
7

Sift in the dry ingredients to the mixture and mix well till smooth
8

Once the yolk mixture is smooth, add in about a third of the egg whites into it and slowly mix
9

When it comes together pour the mixture into the remaining egg whites and gently fold it in, be careful not to deflate the air pockets accumulated from the egg whites
10

When everything is mixed pour the batter into the baking tray that has been lined with parchment and greased.
11

Bake at 160-170degrees for 30 min, when ready, the cake should spring back once touched.
12

Remove from oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then remove from baking tray, let it cool completely before frosting, I used my white chocolate buttercream frosting but you can also use whipping cream.
13

After frosting, roll the cake using a parchment paper and place in the fridge for 30-45min

Your Swiss roll is now ready to be devoured. Enjoy😊
