Pumpkin Swiss Roll with Raisins

I have been trying out various swiss roll recipes in the hope of finding THE one that will work for me. Am overall quite satisfied with this swiss roll even though there is still breakage when rolling the cake. Well, at least the outer surface looks nice hee. The cake texture is soft, light and fluffy and stayed so even immediately out from the fridge. Blur me misread the recipe and baked it at 170°C for 15min instead. Am glad that the cake turns out fine. Recipe is definitely a keeper but I'll have to work on my cake rolling skills =p
