  • 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour

For the Filling:

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Pan

  • Line a 10×15 inch (25×38 cm) jelly roll pan with parchment paper.

2️⃣ Make the Sponge

  2. Add vanilla and mix gently.
  3. Sift together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Fold dry ingredients gently into egg mixture.
  5. Mix milk and oil together, then fold into batter carefully (don’t deflate).

3️⃣ Bake

  • Spread batter evenly in pan.
  • Bake 10–12 minutes until lightly golden and springy.

4️⃣ Roll While Warm

  1. Lay a clean kitchen towel on the counter and dust lightly with powdered sugar.
  2. Flip cake onto towel and peel off parchment.
  3. Roll cake up gently with the towel from the short side.
  4. Let cool completely while rolled.

5️⃣ Make Filling

  • Whip cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.

6️⃣ Fill & Roll

  • Carefully unroll cooled cake.
