Jammed cylinder (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

swiss roll

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'jammed cylinder' is the definition.
(jammed meaning with jam in it)

'jammed cylinder' is the wordplay.
'jammed' becomes 'swiss' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cylinder' becomes 'roll' (roll is a kind of cylinder).
'swiss'+'roll'='SWISS ROLL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for swiss roll that I've seen before include "teatime treat?" , "Tumble down the ski slopes maybe" , "Filled sponge cake" , "Type of sponge cake" , "Cylindrical sponge cake with layers of jam" .)
