Ingredients (for 6-8 people)
For the roll:
4 eggs
100 g of sugar
80 g of 00 flour
20 g of potato starch
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 pinch of salt
For the mascarpone cream:
250 g of mascarpone
150 ml of fresh whipping cream
50 g of icing sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
For the filling and decoration:
200 g of fresh raspberries
Icing sugar to taste

Preparation
- Prepare the roll
Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a rectangular baking tray with baking paper.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until light and fluffy.
Sift the flour and potato starch, gently incorporating them into the egg mixture.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing with a spatula.
Pour the mixture into the baking tray and level it evenly. Bake for 8-10 minutes. - Roll up the base
Take the roll out of the oven and turn it over onto a clean tea towel dusted with icing sugar.
Gently remove the baking paper and roll up the base with the tea towel, leaving it to cool completely. - Prepare the mascarpone cream
Whip the fresh cream until it becomes soft.
In a separate bowl, mix the mascarpone with the icing sugar and vanilla extract.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone, obtaining a smooth and soft cream.
- Fill and decorate the log
Gently unroll the base and spread an even layer of mascarpone cream.
Distribute the fresh raspberries on the cream and roll the cake up again.
Cover the roll with the remaining cream and decorate it with raspberries, a dusting of icing sugar and, if you like, mint leaves. - Serve
Transfer the log to a serving dish and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Cut into slices and enjoy this dessert masterpiece!
