       Method

      1. Preheat oven to 160c and line a baking tray with parchment.
      2. Whisk together milk and vinegar in a jug and set aside for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the vegan butter before adding to the milk alongside the sparkling water and mix.
      3. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients (sift if lumpy). Pour in the milk mixture and fold to combine (be careful not to overmix).
      4. Pour batter onto the baking tray and spread evenly with a spatula. 
      5. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes until cake is firm but still soft (overbaking will make it too difficult to roll).
      6. Remove and cool for 3 minutes whilst you dust a clean kitchen towel with icing sugar.
      7. Carefully place cake onto the towel (parchment side up), remove the parchment and roll into a tight log shape using the towel. Leave to cool in the log position.
      8. Mix together filling ingredients and once cake is cooled carefully unroll - spread the filling and roll again. (If it cracks, don’t worry too much as it will add to the rustic ‘log’ effect!)
