🧁 Ingredients
For the Sponge Cake Roll
4 large eggs (room temperature)
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup all-purpose flour (sifted)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
For the Cream Filling
1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
½ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Garnish
Powdered sugar for dusting
Fresh berries
Chocolate drizzle or caramel sauce
🥣 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Sponge Cake
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Line a rectangular baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until pale, thick, and fluffy.
Add vanilla extract and gently mix.
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together.
Fold dry ingredients gently into the egg mixture to keep it airy.
Pour batter evenly into prepared pan.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until lightly golden and springy to touch.
Step 2: Roll the Cake
While warm, turn cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
Carefully peel off parchment paper.
Roll the cake (with towel inside) from the short side.
Let it cool completely rolled—this prevents cracking later.
Step 3: Prepare the Cream Filling
In a chilled bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Continue whipping until smooth, fluffy, and stable.
Step 4: Assemble
Gently unroll the cooled sponge cake.
Spread whipped cream evenly across the surface.
Carefully roll the cake back up (without towel).
Chill for 30–60 minutes before slicing.
