1. When the sponge cake still warm, place a piece of clean baking/parchment paper on the sponge cake and invert the sponge.

2. Slowly peel off the attached baking/parchment paper from the cake.

3. Place a piece of baking/parchment paper over the sponge. Invert the sponge again.

4. Slice out a small piece of sponge on a 45-degree angle at one end (at longer size 35.5cm ), so the end of sponge will neatly attached to the sponge at the end of rolling.

5. Make few slits on the whole cake. Spread whipped cream on the sponge cake, then spoon coconut filling on top and spread the whole sponge cake.

6. With the longer side/breadth facing you, roll the cake up tightly to form a swiss roll. Wrap with paper and chill in the fridge to allow the swiss roll to set.

7. Frost the swiss roll with whipped cream. Sprinkle steamed grated coconut on the cake. Store in the fridge before serving.
