Ingredients
- 4 Large Eggs, at room temperature
- 125g Whitworths Caster Sugar
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 175g Self Raising Flour, sifted
- 45g Unsalted Butter, melted
- 5 x Gel Food Colourings
- 200ml Double/Whipping Cream
- 1 Tbsp Whitworths Icing Sugar, plus extra for dusting
- 50g Rainbow Sprinkles
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan and line a 13x9 inch Swiss roll tin with greaseproof baking paper.
- Add the eggs, caster sugar and vanilla to a large mixing bowl and whisk on a medium-high setting for 10 mins, until the mixture has thickened.
- Divide the mixture into 5 separate bowls and colour each a different colour. Fold the colours in using a metal spoon, being careful not to knock out too much of the air.
- Sift 35g of flour into each bowl and gently fold in.
- Mix 2 tsp of the melted butter into each bowl.
- Add the mixtures into 5 separate piping bags and cut a 1cm opening at the end.
- Pipe diagonal lines of cake mixture from one corner of the baking tray to the other.
- Tap the tray on your work surface a couple of times and bake in the oven for 8-10 mins, the sponge should be firm to the touch.
- Leaving the sponge on the baking paper, slide it onto a damp tea towel and peel the baking paper from the sides.
- Roll up the sponge widthways in the tea towel and leave to fully cool.
- Pour the cream and icing sugar into a mixing bowl and whisk until the cream just starts to hold its shape.
- Fold in the sprinkles.
- Gently unroll the cooled sponge and spread the cream over it, leaving a 2 cm border.
- Roll the sponge back up and dust with icing sugar when ready to serve.
