I had a bit of a muck around making swiss rolls...mainly as I had an excess of eggs, and other ingredients.
For some reason I had a real hankering for a chocolate-mint swiss roll, but suspecting it may be rather...potent, I also did a more classic one with raspberry jam and whipped cream. I then, later, went mad, and tried a yoghurt based mint filling for a second attempt. Fatless sponges are great practice for folding flour into foamed eggs.
