Ingredients

For the swiss roll

  • 3 Eggs large
  • 75 g Light brown soft sugar
  • 75 g Plain flour sieved
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

For the filling

  • 115 g Biscoff spread
  • 200 ml Double cream
  • ½ tbsp Icing sugar
  • ½ tsp Vanilla extract

For decoration

  • 40 g Biscoff spread
  • 5 Biscoff biscuits

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 160C Fan/180C/400F/Gas Mark 6, line a swiss roll tin or a baking tray with a lip, with baking paper. The one I used was a Wilton tray that is 33.7 x 23.5 cm (13.25 x 9.25 inches)
  • For the sponge, whisk the eggs and sugar together with an electric whisk or in a food mixer for around 8 minutes until it reaches 'ribbon stage' - this is when you can drizzle the mixture in a figure 8 and it takes at least 3 seconds to sink back in. It will also be very light in colour and have doubled in size
  • Add the vanilla and whisk a little to mix it in
  • Gently fold in the flour, ideally using a metal spoon, trying not to lose the volume
  • Pour into the tin, and spread the mixture around. Bake for 12 minutes
  • Remove from the oven and tip onto a clean sheet of baking paper
  • Remove the baking paper the sponge was baked with, then roll up the sponge, taking the clean baking paper with it, then leave to cool completely
  • Gently unroll the sponge and spread a layer of melted Biscoff spread all over it. It's much easier to spread the Biscoff when it's melted, so pop it in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to melt it first
  • Whip up the cream with the icing sugar and vanilla
  • Spread most of the double cream (save some to decorate the top) over the Biscoff spread
  • Re-roll the sponge as tightly as you can, and place onto a serving plate
  • Melt the Biscoff spread for decoration and drizzle it all over the swiss roll
  • Pipe the remaining whipped cream on top, then add the biscuits (they will go soft from being in contact with the cream so add right before serving). I also crushed up some of the biscuits and sprinkled over some crumbs
  • Serve immediately, store any leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days

Notes

  • Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking, particularly the eggs.
  • Light brown soft sugar is what gives the swiss roll a delicious caramelised flavour, but you can also use caster sugar if you can't get hold of it.
  • Although I provide cup measurements, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients out using digital kitchen scales*. It is the most accurate way to measure ingredients and will ensure the best results. Digital scales are very low cost and can be purchased for around £12 ($16.50) .
  • For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons* and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.
