Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Cake Ingredients
  • 4 large large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Filling Ingredients
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Fresh berries (for a fruity twist, completely optional but recommended)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 15×10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes until thick and pale.
  3. Add the vanilla extract, and mix gently.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold this into the egg mixture, being careful to keep it airy.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  2. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.
  3. Remove from the oven and immediately lay a clean kitchen towel on top, sprinkling powdered sugar over the towel.
  4. Invert the cake onto the towel, peel off parchment paper, and roll it up with the towel inside. Allow to cool completely while rolled.
Filling and Assembly
  1. While the cake cools, whip together the heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract to form peaks.
  2. Unroll the cooled cake, spread the filling evenly, and scatter fresh berries if using.
  3. Roll it back up gently (without the towel) and place seam-side down on a platter.
  4. Dust with more powdered sugar, slice, and enjoy!

Notes

If your filling seems too soft, refrigerate for a bit before spreading. Feel free to add lemon zest for a fresh twist. If the roll cracks, just call it 'rustic'!
