Spread evenly on the paper and bake 7-9 minutes until the cake is lightly browned and springy to the touch.
Scatter the top of the cake with icing sugar and place a clean tea towel on top. Keeping the baking paper on the underside of the cake and the tea towel on top, gently roll it into a log – this will ensure no cracks in the finished cake.
Make the filling: mix the labneh, sugar and orange zest in a bowl. Add the cream and beat on high with electric beaters until a uniform consistency and firm enough to hold in the cake. Avoid over mixing — the cream should be smooth but not solid.
Once the cake is completely cool, gently unroll and turn it over so the baking paper is on the top. Gently peel it off — the side that touched the paper is where you’ll spread your filling.
Carefully spread the filling to the edges, and scatter with crushed meringues and some berries.
Turn so the long side is facing you and roll along the long side into a tight log.
Just before serving, dust the top with icing sugar and scatter with fresh berries and a few mini meringues or shards of crushed meringue – if you wish.
