  • Yield: 8 servings 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

A light and fluffy sponge cake rolled with whipped cream and optional fruits or jam, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 100g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
  • 80g (2/3 cup) all-purpose flour
  • 30g (2 tablespoons) vegetable oil
  • 30g (2 tablespoons) milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 300ml (1 1/4 cups) heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Fresh fruits or jam for filling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy.
  3. Sift in the flour and gently fold it until just combined.
  4. Mix the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract in another bowl, then gradually fold into the batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden and springs back when touched.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Transfer to a damp kitchen towel, rolling it up while still warm.
  8. Allow the rolled cake to cool completely.
  9. While cooling, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  10. Unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream evenly over it. Add any optional fruits or jam.
  11. Roll the cake back up gently and refrigerate for at least an hour before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a lactose-free option, substitute heavy cream with a non-dairy alternative. Use a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version.
