- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, for the filling
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10-by-15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- Beat the eggs and granulated sugar for 5 to 7 minutes until thick, pale, and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture.
- Combine the vegetable oil and milk. Mix with a small amount of batter, then fold into the remaining batter.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Turn the warm cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Remove the parchment paper.
- Roll the warm cake with the towel inside and allow it to cool completely.
- Beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream filling evenly over the surface.
- Roll the cake back up without the towel and place seam-side down on a serving platter.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use room-temperature eggs for a light and airy sponge.
- Roll the cake while warm to help prevent cracking.
- Avoid overbaking to keep the sponge flexible.
- Cool the cake completely before adding the filling.
- Add fresh berries or fruit preserves for extra flavor.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
