Chestnut roulade

Roulade means "roll" in French. Here, chestnut puree, lashings of cream and fresh raspberries give an interesting twist to the traditional British swiss roll.

Method

1.Preheat oven to hot, 200°C. Lightly grease and line 25 x 30cm swiss roll pan.
2.In a bowl, using an electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar together until thick and pale.
3.Sift flour and cinnamon together. Using a metal spoon, fold gently into egg mixture alternately with milk, until combined. Pour into pan.
4.Bake for 10-12 minutes, until firm when touched. Places sheet of baking paper onto a clean tea towel. Turn cake out onto paper. Trim edges, then roll up from short end while still hot. Allow to cool completely on wire rack.
5.FILLING: In a bowl, combine chestnut puree, milk and brandy. Using an electric mixer, beat cream until soft peaks form. Fold half the cream through mixture.
6.Unroll cooled sponge. Spread with filling and roll back into shape. Transfer to a serving plate; spread with remaining whipped cream. Top with raspberries. Dust with icing sugar to serve.

It’s important that you are patient when beating the eggs and sugar – it will take about 10 minutes and it should hold its shape.
