Mini Sponge Cake Rolls

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • Your favorite filling (jam, whipped cream, Nutella, or cream cheese frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet (about 10×15 inches) with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. Beat Eggs and Sugar:
    In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed for 5–7 minutes, or until the mixture is thick, pale, and tripled in volume.
  3. Fold in Flour:
    Gently sift the flour and salt into the egg mixture. Carefully fold with a spatula until just combined. Be gentle to avoid deflating the batter.
  4. Bake the Sponge:
    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the top is golden and springs back when touched.
  5. Roll While Warm:
    While still warm, sprinkle powdered sugar over the top and place a clean kitchen towel over it. Invert the cake onto the towel, peel off the parchment, and gently roll it up (with the towel). Let it cool completely.
  6. Add Filling & Slice:
    Unroll the cake, spread your desired filling evenly, and roll it back up. Slice into mini rolls using a sharp knife.
  7. Serve:
    Dust with more powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate. Enjoy!

Let me know if you want a specific flavor version (e.g., chocolate, strawberry, lemon, etc.)!
