Ingredients

4 large eggs (room temperature)

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting)

1 cup fresh raspberries

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. Beat eggs and 1 cup granulated sugar until pale and thick, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add vanilla extract, then gently fold in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
  4. Pour batter evenly into prepared pan and bake 12-15 minutes until cake springs back when touched.
  5. Dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar. Invert hot cake onto towel, peel off parchment, and roll cake up with the towel. Let cool completely.
  6. Mash raspberries with 1/4 cup sugar.
  7. Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form.
  8. Unroll cooled cake, spread whipped cream evenly, spoon raspberry mixture on top, then gently re-roll without towel.
  9. Place roll seam-side down on a plate and dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.

Add lemon or orange zest to whipped cream for citrus flavor.

Dust cocoa powder on top for a chocolate twist.
