Ingredients :

Decorative paste:

1 egg white
20 g unsweetened cocoa powder ( I used dehygrated raspberry powder this time)
20 g flour
30 g sugar
30 g butter
Note: You can substitute cocoa powder with flour and add a few drops of food colouring

Swiss roll:

4 eggs
120 g flour
120 g sugar
1 pinch of salt

Preparation:
Let’s start preparing the decorative paste. Mix all ingredients together and pour into a piping bag to pipe your own design on a paper parchment.

1. Place the printed pattern you are going to use on a tray.
2. Place paper parchment over it.
3. Pipe following the desing on the pattern under the paper parchment.
4. Decorative paste is ready, take to the freezer for 15 minutes, whilst preparing the swiss roll.
5. Pour the swiss roll mix over it and bake, as indicated below.

Preheat the oven to 170 º C/375F . Place the eggs and sugar into a bowl and whisk until very light, fluffy and thickened. Sift the flour over the mixture and fold in carefully. Take the decorated paste out of the freezer, line a Swiss roll tin with the decorated baking parchment. Pour mixture into the lined tin and smooth with a spatula until evenly spread out. Bake the sponge for 10 minutes. Turn the sponge out onto the parchment paper, then peel off the parchment on the bottom of the sponge. Use as desired.
