The simple vanilla gluten free sponge is a great starting point, as it’s perfectly fluffy and delicate, yet also flexible and sturdy enough so that it doesn’t crack and crumble when you roll it (more on that below). The sponge for this lamington Swiss roll is based on the Vanilla & Raspberry Swiss roll from my gluten free cookbook, Baked to Perfection.

I simply can’t get enough of it!! And just in case you’re scared of making Swiss rolls (and especially gluten free ones) because they might crack: don’t worry!!

Just in the last few weeks, I’ve made it at least four times already. Now, with this glorious lamington Swiss roll on the other hand – I just know that I’ll be making it over and over again. So, while I adore lamingtons, I make them only very rarely. I don’t know about you, but whenever I make lamingtons, the kitchen is one giant mess… and so am I. It’s also much easier and less fussy to make than “traditional” lamingtons, where you have to dip each individual tiny sponge square into chocolate icing and then roll it in desiccated coconut. Much like my Gluten Free Lamington Loaf Cake, this lamington Swiss roll is basically one giant, super-charged lamington… only, it’s far more delicate and refined, with a fluffier, lighter sponge and a more elegant look. It combines some of my all-time favourite things: coconut, chocolate, lamingtons and Swiss rolls. And thanks to a special, fail-proof method of rolling the sponge, I can guarantee that your Swiss roll will be 100% crack-free!! It’s also more elegant – a real showstopper, with a fluffy, soft, delicate coconut sponge, a layer of strawberry jam, luscious chocolate icing and a generous coating of desiccated coconut. This stunning gluten free lamington Swiss roll has all the best elements of a traditional lamington, but it’s far easier and less fussy to make.
