Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)
• 0.5 cup Jelly or jam (your choice)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and grease lightly.

Step 2

In a small bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer on high speed for about 5 minutes, or until thick and light yellow in color.

Step 4

Gradually add the granulated sugar to the beaten eggs, continuing to mix on medium speed until smooth. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the egg mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly to the edges. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release any air bubbles.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the sponge is set and springs back when lightly touched.

Step 8

While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel by dusting it generously with powdered sugar.

Step 9

Once the cake is baked, immediately loosen the edges with a knife and invert the cake onto the prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.

Step 10

While the cake is still warm, gently roll it up in the towel (starting from the short side) to form a spiral shape. Let it cool completely in this rolled position.

Step 11

Once cooled, unroll the cake carefully and spread an even layer of your chosen jelly or jam over the surface.

Step 12

Re-roll the cake without the towel and transfer it to a serving plate seam-side down.

Step 13

Dust the top with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
