Dairy Free Swiss Roll

A light, whisked sponge is the real star here — eggs and sugar beaten until pale and thick enough to hold a ribbon, then folded with flour into a batter that bakes up soft and springy in minutes. The warm sponge gets rolled in a sugared towel right out of the oven, a classic trick that trains it into a tight spiral and keeps it crack-free once filled. Inside, a layer of sweet-tart strawberry jam spreads edge to edge for that signature ribbon of color in every slice, paired with a lusciously whipped filling that holds its shape when the roll goes back together. A short chill firms everything up before slicing, and a final dusting of powdered sugar finishes it with that classic bakery look. It's an elegant, make-ahead dessert that works beautifully for a dairy free table, with clean, pretty spirals in every cut.
