Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Butter and line a 25 x 35cm Swiss roll tin with baking parchment. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar using an electric hand mixer until light in colour and fluffy - this will take about 5 mins.
  2. Sift the flour into the bowl. Using a large metal spoon, gently fold it into the eggs. Pour in the butter and quickly fold to combine. Be careful not to overmix, as this will knock all the air out of the whisked eggs. Pour the mixture into the lined tin and smooth out to the edges with your spoon. Bake for 12-15 mins until cooked through and springy.
  3. Lay a sheet of baking parchment, larger than your sponge, on your work surface and dust with the remaining sugar. Flip the sponge onto the sugary surface and carefully peel off the parchment lining the base of the sponge. Use the sheet underneath to help you tightly roll up your roulade (see step-by-step guide). Leave to cool.
  4. To make the filling, add the vanilla and 3 tbsp of the peach syrup to the cream and whisk with electric beaters until it forms soft peaks. Fold in half of the chopped peaches and ripple in half the coulis.
  5. Unroll the roulade, remove the baking parchment and spread with the peachy cream. Scatter the raspberries and the remaining peaches over the top. Drizzle with the remaining coulis and tightly re-roll the roulade. Transfer to a serving plate or board and serve straight away.

    6 eggs!!! Are you completely sure??? I made this for a special occasion last week and my son spat it out! It was truly disgusting. I should have stopped at 3 eggs as my instinct was telling me to. I've very rarely been disappointed with a GF recipe but this was a complete waste of my time and money.

    I tried this recipe twice and both times it didn't look right. As the previous comment states I think gf should check if the recipe is right. It didn't rise as it should and the bottom was always like rubber. I found another recipe that used 3 eggs and no butter and it worked fine. Save your eggs and find another recipe. Sorry good food your recipes have not let me down before.
