Simple Jam Roll

I've been long planning to try a recipe for jam rolls with a simple sponge cake batter and no other things added. I say I made an exemplary roll - fluffy, soft and tasty. From here, you can improvise if you add various flavours to the recipe. It's up to everyone's imagination, but I promise I will come with some suggestions.

I used a new silicone mat with raised edges. It is brilliant, it was love at first sight! Silicone mats can be found anywhere, but this one with raised edges, for liquid batter, is not very common. I recommend it with great confidence, especially for rolls!

It's soft and fluffy. It can be filled with anything you like, not only with jam. If you want it softer, you can use syrup or fill with a more liquid jam.
