Icing sugar (optional) for dusting
Delicious rolled cake
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 180°C and prepare a rectangular baking pan by lining it with baking paper.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture is frothy and light in color. You can use an electric mixer or beat manually with a hand whisk.
Add the vanilla essence and mix again until completely absorbed.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into the egg and sugar mixture. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently stir until combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly, making sure to cover the entire surface.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Next, place a clean tea towel on a flat surface and invert the cake onto the towel.
Carefully remove the parchment paper and, if desired, spread a layer of jam over the cake. This will add extra flavour and help keep it moist.
Starting at one of the shorter ends, begin to roll the cake up using the tea towel. Make sure the wrapping is tight but smooth, to avoid tearing.
Once the cake is completely rolled up, transfer it to a serving plate and, if you like, sprinkle with icing sugar.
Tips for your delicious rolled cake
You can experiment with different jam flavors for the filling. Some popular options include strawberry, raspberry or peach jam.
If you prefer a touch of chocolate, you can add cocoa powder to the cake batter before baking. This will create an irresistible chocolate cake.
Once the cake is rolled, you can decorate it with whipped cream, fresh fruit or lemon zest for a special finishing touch.
If you like contrasting textures, you can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the cake batter before baking.
This delicious rolled cake is perfect for sharing sweet moments with your family. With just a few ingredients and a quick preparation, there is no excuse not to enjoy this delicious and moist dessert.
