Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Cooling + Setting: 4 hours
Total Time: 4 hours 25 minutes
Servings: 12 slices

Ingredients

  • 5 large eggs
  • 6 tbsp sugar (full tablespoons)
  • 6 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 6 tbsp flour (full tablespoons)
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder (to swipe for the chocolate roll)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  • Beat the whites in a large bowl with a pinch of salt until soft peaks. Add sugar in several additions. Beat the yolks with a fork and add them to the whites in 2-3 additions. Add vanilla extract and the oil in 2 additions.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 F.
    Mix the flour with baking powder (and cocoa if the case) and sift it into the batter in 2-3 additions. Use only a spatula or hand whisk to incorporate it with gentle, upside down folding moves. Don't over mix it to avoid losing the air from the batter.
  • Line the oven tray with parchment paper and spread the batter. Level it up and bake for 12-13 minutes until is slightly golden and/or set. Take the sheet cake out and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
    Place another parchment paper on top and flip it over. Remove the old paper and roll it onto itself and let it cool that way. Fill with your desired cream choice.
