Recipe:
Cake flour 250g
Sugar 250g
Eggs 6
Warm water 1 tbs.
Gel colours for colouring
Place 1 cup of whipped cream in your mixer bowl and refrigerate with the whisk attachment.
Grease the bottom of a baking tray, then line with baking parchment paper.
Beat eggs and sugar in a large bowl with an electric whisk until mixture is thick and creamy, the mixture will almost triple in volume and will be thick enough to leave a trail when lifted. Sift in the flour into the mixture and gently fold in until the flour is blended in completely. Fold in the tablespoon of warm water.
Divide the mixture into 7 bowls, and colour each batch with a different colour of the rainbow. (You may use fewer colours, we used 6)
Pour each batter into a separate piping bag, pipe strips of alternating colours into the baking tray.
Bake at 180 degrees centigrade until done. When done, a finger pressed into the cake will spring back without leaving a dent
While the cake is baking, whip up your whipped cream until firm set aside in the fridge
Once done, turn it out immediately into a parchment paper, peel off the parchment used to bake the cake and flip over.
While still warm, roll up the cake with the parchment. Then unroll and add the cream
Roll up the cake without the parchment. Then wrap up with the parchment and place with the rolled side down in the refrigerator for about 1 hour before serving
