I can’t help getting excited when I see berries begin filling the fridges at the supermarket. Especially when they are stamped: “IN SEASON”. I find that you can’t keep raspberries for long in the fridge, so I like to buy them and use them the same day. This way I avoid having to pick out the smooshy ones.
This sponge for the roulade is really quick and easy. It only bakes for about 8 minutes and cools super fast, so in about 30 minutes, you have a tea time treat. Perfect for that lazy Sunday afternoon when you don’t want to slave in the kitchen, but the family would love something with their tea.

150g Mascopane
600ml icing sugar

Mascopane Buttercream Filling:
Place all ingredients into a medium bowl, except the milk.
Whisk with an electric beater.

While roulade is baking, place a tea towel on the work surface. Cover the tea towel with a large sheet of baking paper and sprinkle with remaining castor sugar.
Turn the cake onto the baking paper once baked.
Roll the cake up from the short side, rolling the paper inside the cake.
Cool for 5 minutes, then unroll and allow to cool.
