Labane pavlova roll

Cook: 7 - 9 minutes

Serves: 8

What’s more English than a Swiss roll filled with seasonal berries? We’ve given it a Middle Eastern twist with citrus zest and by adding labneh to the whipped cream. Mini meringues give the feel of an Eton-mess.

Method:

  • Preheat oven to 175°C (fan). Line a 30cm x 20cm tin with baking parchment and lightly grease the paper.

  • In the bowl of a standing mixer or with electric beaters, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt on high speed for 3 minutes, until they are lightly frothy. Gradually add the sugar (a tablespoon at a time) while mixing on high and continue mixing on high until the mixture is frothy, glossy and thick.

  • Stop the mixer, sift in the flour and baking powder, and gently fold in together. Finally, gently fold in the zest.
