Ingredients

1/3 cup plain flour

1 ½ teaspoons instant espresso powder

2 large egg whites (at room temperature)

5 tablespoons white sugar

3 large egg yolks (at room temperature)

2 large whole eggs (at room temperature)

3 tablespoons white sugar

Cocoa powder (for dusting)

7/8 cup chilled heavy cream

3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar

¾ teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur

½ cup chilled mascarpone cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line an 8×8-inch jellyroll pan with parchment paper and lightly coat with baking spray.
  2. Sift together flour and espresso powder. Set aside.
  3. Whisk egg whites and sugar until medium peaks form. In another bowl, beat egg yolks, whole eggs, and sugar until ribbon stage. Gently fold in egg whites, followed by the flour mixture. Pour batter into pan and bake for 8-10 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Dust the baked cake with cocoa powder, turn it out onto parchment, and roll it while warm. Let cool for 20 minutes and then unroll and cool completely.
  5. Prepare filling by whipping heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and coffee liqueur until soft peaks form. Fold in mascarpone cheese until smooth. Spread half of the filling over the cooled cake.
  6. Roll the cake up tightly, frost with remaining filling, and dust with cocoa powder. Trim the ends for a clean presentation.
