Ingredients
Egg yolks
3 (large, separated from the whites)
Granulated sugar
9 teaspoons (divided into 2 and 7 teaspoons for yolks and whites respectively)
Cake flour
3 tablespoons (sifted)
Cornstarch
2 teaspoons (sifted)
Vegetable oil
2 tablespoons (for batter)
Milk
4 teaspoons (for batter)
Baking powder
1/4 teaspoon (for batter)
Egg whites
3 (large, separated from the yolks)
Firm whipping cream
1 cup (for filling)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
In a non-metal mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with an electric mixer on medium speed until they become pale yellow. Gradually add 2 teaspoons of sugar, mixing well.
3
Slowly blend in the vegetable oil and milk until fully incorporated.
4
Sift together the cake flour, cornstarch, and baking powder, then gently fold them into the yolk mixture until just combined.
5
In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add 7 teaspoons of sugar, continuing to beat until the peaks become stiff and glossy.
6
Gently fold half of the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it. Once combined, fold in the remaining egg whites carefully to maintain the volume.
7
Pour the batter into an 8-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper, and spread it evenly.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and springs back when lightly touched.
9
While still warm, dust a clean kitchen towel with sugar. Once you take the cake out of the oven, transfer it (with the parchment paper) onto another tray.
10
Cover the cake with the sugared towel and place another tray on top to gently press it.
11
Wait for a few minutes until it is warm but not hot. Peel off the parchment paper, then roll the cake tightly with the towel from one end.
12
Let it cool completely in this rolled shape.
13
Once cooled, carefully unroll the cake, spread the whipped cream filling evenly over the top, adding fruits if desired, and reroll tightly.
14
Wrap the rolled cake in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
