  4. Place the egg whites into a separate, clean bowl and whisk until stiff peaks form when the whisk is removed. Gently fold the egg whites into the roulade mixture.

  5. Grease and line a swiss roll tin and sprinkle a little caster sugar over the base of the tin. Pour the roulade mixture into the tin.
