Ingredients

100g plain flour

1⁄2 level tsp baking powder

75g shelled pistachio nuts

100g caster sugar

3 large free-range eggs

Few drops vanilla extract

300ml Asda Fresh Double Cream

400g strawberries, sliced

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Line a Swiss roll tin, about 33cm x 23cm and 1cm deep, with non-stick baking paper, allowing the paper to come 1cm above the edge.
2
Sift the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt into a bowl, then stir in the nuts.
3
Put the sugar and eggs in a bowl and whisk with an electric mixer for 10 minutes or until really thick and mousse-like. Whisk in the vanilla.
4
Drizzle 1 tbsp water down the edge of the bowl, then add the flour mixture. Fold into the bowl very gently with a spatula, then pour into the tin, making sure the mixture goes into the corners. Bake for 12 minutes or until the top springs back when pressed.
5
While the cake is in the oven, put a sheet of baking paper on a work surface and dust with sugar. As soon as the cake is ready, turn it out on to the sugared paper and remove the lining paper.
6
Cut off the edges to help it roll, then fold the sugared paper over one short end and roll up firmly, using the paper to help you.
7
Leave to cool wrapped in the paper on a wire rack.
8
Whip the cream until it holds its shape. Unroll the cake carefully and spread with the cream. Top with half the strawberries and re-roll.
9
Dust with sugar and serve with the remaining strawberries.
