Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a Swiss roll tin with parchment.

Spread jam over buttercream, score a line 2cm from edge, and roll firmly.

Beat filling ingredients until smooth and spread over cooled sponge.

Turn sponge onto sugared parchment and flip so black lines are on the bottom.

Pour batter into the tin and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden-brown.

Sift flour over the mixture and gently fold it in.

Whisk eggs and caster sugar until light, frothy, and leaving a trail.

Pipe black diagonal lines across the tin and refrigerate.

Cream butter and icing sugar, beat in egg whites, fold in flour, liquorice essence, and food coloring.
