Ingredients

• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Sugar
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 240 ml Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 30 grams Butter
• 15 grams Powdered sugar for dusting

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 25x35 cm baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture is pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and melted butter into the egg mixture, gently mixing to combine.

Step 5

Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture carefully to retain as much air as possible for a light sponge.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking tray and smooth the top using a spatula.

Step 7

Bake the sponge in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.

Step 8

While the cake is baking, place a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and dust generously with powdered sugar.

Step 9

Once the sponge cake is baked, immediately invert it onto the prepared sugared towel and carefully peel off the parchment paper.

Step 10

While still warm, gently roll the sponge with the towel from the short side, creating a log. Let it cool completely in this rolled shape.

Step 11

For the filling, whisk the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar in a bowl until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

Step 12

Unroll the cooled sponge cake and spread the whipped cream evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 13

Gently re-roll the sponge cake without the towel, making sure the seam is at the bottom.

Step 14

Transfer the cream roll to a serving platter and dust with additional powdered sugar before serving.
