Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, ensuring it extends over the sides, then lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on high speed for about 5-7 minutes until thick, pale, and tripled in volume. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Gently fold this dry mixture into the egg mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the batter.
Baking
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared jelly roll pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Once baked, place a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar on a flat surface. Carefully invert the cake onto this towel and peel off the parchment paper. Trim any crispy edges.
Rolling and Filling
- Starting from one short end, tightly roll the cake (with the towel) together. Place it seam-side down on a wire rack and let it cool completely.
- While cooling, prepare the filling by beating the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a cold bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cake is cool, gently unroll it, spread the whipped cream evenly across the inside surface, and re-roll it snugly, this time without the towel. Place seam-side down on a serving platter.
Finishing Touch
- For the finishing touch, dust with additional powdered sugar and optionally garnish with fresh berries and mint. Chill for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
