Making a Swiss roll the night before?

[Mostlyjustaluker]

I am looking a for a classic cake for Ccc but I need to make it the day before. I have not made a Swiss roll since school and looking at the recipes they seem to be fatless and I am worried that it would dry out if I made it the day before. Does anybody know if it will?

what are you going to fill it with? Just jam then def make it on the day, but if you are going more roulade-y with a sumptuous filling then you might get away with it.

Personally I rarely make cakes the day before, I think you can tell. Esp for for light cakes...different for a moist chocolate or carrot affair.

and CCC?? is it secret? ;)

CCC is definitely a secret, well the location. I can't tell if you know what CCC is so here is a link clandestinecakeclub.co.uk

For CCC I and most people have to make the cake a day before because I go straight after work.

yes, i belong to the CCC!

our meetings are usually a Sunday,so plenty of pottering time, i heartily recommend it to everyone! :D

and the children love it, as they get to have cake for breakfast on a monday :D

Ooh I've got their recipe book! LOVE the choc honeycomb cake

I just clicked on the link. I wish I could join but I don't have time to bake.

Our meetings are on Mondays.

bath it is only once a month and I normally make something simple but that is mostly becuase I lack the skill.
