Raspberry Roulade – Bake with Grace

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.

30ml milk

300g fresh raspberries
