Method
- Preheat oven to 180C. Line swiss roll pan with baking paper.
- Use an electric beater to beat egg whites in a clean dry bowl until soft peaks form. Leave aside.

- Prepare the cream by beating together the thickened cream and sugar until smooth and thick.
- Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 10 - 15 mins or until the cake springs back to the touch. Remove from oven.
