Whisk the eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl with an electric whisk until thick and mousse like.

Fold in the flour until blended.

Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for 10-12 minutes, until risen and golden.

Remove from the oven and turn out on to a sheet of non-stick baking paper sprinkled with sugar. Trim the sponge edges and roll up with the paper inside. Leave to cool completely.

For the filling: unroll the sponge and spread with the jam, leaving a small gap around the edges.
7.
Stir together the chestnut puree and cream and spread evenly over the jam. Roll up again.

For the coating: heat the white chocolate, butter and cream in a pan over a low heat until the chocolate has melted, stirring constantly. Cool completely, then chill until slightly thick.
