It's simple.

With just one click, all these ingredients will be put into a basket on mySupermarket.co.uk.

One thing is for sure though, you are guaranteed to find the best value.

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4. Line a 13 x 33cm Swiss roll tin with foil, folding the sides up to make a frame 4cm high and squeezing the corners together. Brush lightly with vegetable oil.

2. For the meringue: place the egg whites in a spotlessly clean bowl (stainless steel is best) and whisk until soft peaks form. Fold the rosewater, vinegar and corn flour.

3. Add the sugar all in one go (if using a hand-held beater, add the sugar in stages) and whisk at full speed for about 4–5 minutes, or until stiff peaks form. Using a large metal spoon, fold in the coconut firmly and quickly.

4. Smooth the meringue into the prepared tin with a palette knife and bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes, or until faintly browned and firm to the touch.

5. Allow the meringue to cool for five minutes, then turn out onto a sheet of foil (slightly bigger than the roulade) – quickly turning it upside down onto the sheet and gently removing the foil on the base. Allow to cool completely.

6. For the filling: lightly beat the mascarpone cheese in a mixing bowl, then add the caster sugar and the rosewater to taste. Fold in the cream and lemon or lime curd.

7. Spread the cream evenly over the meringue, leaving 4cm of the long edge nearest to you free of cream. Scatter the raspberries over the cream.

8. Holding the foil closest to you, roll up the roulade away from you and leave it in the foil until you are ready to serve (it will hold neatly here for a couple of hours in the fridge).

9. When ready to serve, unwrap the roulade and gently push it onto a serving dish using a palette knife or cake slice. Dust with icing sugar and decorate with a few more raspberries and sprigs of mint, if using.
