Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350?F (175?C). Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
In one bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar. In another bowl, beat egg yolks until pale; mix in vanilla.
Fold the egg yolk mixture into dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into the batter.
Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Let the cake cool slightly before flipping onto a powdered sugar-dusted kitchen towel. Roll it up gently while still warm.
Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, unroll the cooled cake, spread whipped cream on top, then roll back up without the towel.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.

Experiment with different extracts like almond or citrus zest for unique flavors.

Pair your roll with fresh berries or whipped cream for added flair.
