Honey and ginger roll
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup (75g) self raising flour
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 eggs
1/2 cup (110g) brown sugar
2 tablespoons hot water
1/2 cup (40g) desiccated coconut
HONEY CREAM FILLING
3/4 cup (180ml) thickened cream
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon finely chopped glace or crystallised ginger
METHOD
1 Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Grease 26cm x 32cm Swiss roll pan; line base with baking paper, extending paper 3cm over long sides.
2 Triple-sift the dry ingredients onto a sheet of baking paper.
3 Beat eggs and sugar small bowl with electric mixer until thick and creamy. Transfer the egg mixture to large bowl.
4 Using a balloon whisk or large metal spoon fold in the hot water and sifted dry ingredients in two batches. Spread mixture into the prepared pan; bake for about 10-12 minutes. It’s important not to overcook the sponge as this may cause cracking when rolling.
5 Meanwhile, place a piece of baking paper cut the same size as pan on the bench; sprinkle evenly with the coconut. Turn hot sponge onto paper; peel away lining paper. Using paper as a guide, loosely roll sponge from long side. Stand 2 minutes then unroll. Cool.
HONEY CREAM FILLING:
6 Beat cream and honey in small bowl with electric mixer until firm peaks form. Fold in crystallised ginger.
7Spread the sponge with Honey Cream. Using paper as a guide, roll sponge from long side. Slide the sponge roll onto a serving platter. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Unfilled sponge suitable to freeze. Not suitable to microwave.
