Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F Using a pastry brush, coat the bottom and sides of an ll-by-17-inch jelly-roll pan with 1 tablespoon of softened butter. Line the pan with a 22-inch-long strip of wax paper, and let the paper extend over the ends of the pan.
- Brush the remaining butter over the paper, and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over it, tipping the pan to spread the flour evenly. Invert the pan and rap it sharply to remove the excess.
- With a whisk or a rotary or electric beater, beat the 6 tablespoons of sugar and the eggs together until the mixture is light and fluffy. A little at a time, sift the self-rising flour over the eggs, folding the mixture together gently but thoroughly with a rubber spatula. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the jelly-roll pan and, with a spatula, spread it out evenly. Bake in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes, or until the top is a light golden color and the cake has begun to come away from the sides of the pan.
- Remove the cake from the oven and dust it evenly with the superfine sugar. Then turn it out on a sheet of wax paper and gently peel off the paper.
- Spread the top of the cake evenly with lemon curd and, starting at the long edge, roll it into a cylinder. Cool to room temperature. To serve, cut the cake into 1-inch slices and arrange the slices attractively on a plate.

Tips:
- Make sure the eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them emulsify better with the butter and sugar, resulting in a lighter, fluffier cake.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the cake tough.
- Be careful not to overbake the cake. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean when it's done.
- Let the cake cool completely before you fill it. This will help prevent the filling from seeping out.
- If you don't have a jelly roll pan, you can use a regular baking sheet. Just trim the edges of the cake after it's baked.
- You can use any type of filling you like in your Swiss roll. Some popular choices include lemon curd, chocolate ganache, and whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Swiss roll is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little practice, you can easily make this classic cake at home. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give Swiss roll a try. You won't be disappointed.
