• 4 large eggs
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 75 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 200 grams jam or whipped cream
• powdered sugar to taste for dusting

Method

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is creamy and pale.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture.

4. 4

   Sift in the flour and baking powder, then gently fold until just combined to avoid deflating the mixture.

5. 5

   Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until lightly golden and springy to touch.

6. 6

   Once baked, immediately turn the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.

7. 7

   Spread your chosen jam or whipped cream over the surface of the cake, then roll it up tightly using the towel to help shape it.

8. 8

   Let the Biskuitroulade cool in the rolled position. Once cool, dust with more powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
