Passion Fruit Swiss Roll (Marks and Spencer) By @Cinabar

Tonight we had a posh dessert, not just any dessert, but a Passion Fruit Swiss Roll. Sorry, but I did buy this from M&S, so I think I can get away with the catchphrase. We quite often buy a chocolate or strawberry Swiss Roll from M&S as a treat, but they are usually on the shelf in a box and not from the refrigerated section. This one is a fresh cake with whipped cream, it also has a summer twist with its passion fruit filling.

The cake was very pretty too, and it even had some stripes in an orange colour on the sponge. The cake itself has the lightest sponge ever, it just melted in the mouth. It was lightly sweet, but what hit was the zingy, summery flavour of passion fruit, which was an absolute delight. It was a little sharp, but the sweeter sponge brought balance, and then the cream just mellowed it all. This was a seriously good cake, with a lovely mix of flavours that had balance. If you are looking for a summer celebration dessert or even a post-barbecue treat, I can’t recommend this Marks and Spencer Passion Fruit Swiss Roll enough.
