Ingredients:

• For the Sponge Cake:
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
• For the Vanilla Cream Filling:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sponge Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan (10×15 inches) with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Beat the Eggs and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on high speed for about 4-5 minutes until the mixture becomes pale, thick, and fluffy.
3. Add Vanilla and Dry Ingredients: Stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture using a spatula to maintain the airiness.
4. Incorporate Milk and Butter: Combine the milk and melted butter in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle this into the batter while folding gently to keep the mixture light and airy.
5. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
6. Roll the Cake: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and immediately transfer it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake gently with the towel while still warm. Let it cool completely.
7. Prepare the Vanilla Cream Filling: In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
8. Assemble the Vanilla Cream Rolls: Carefully unroll the cooled sponge cake and spread an even layer of vanilla cream over it. Roll it back up tightly, this time without the towel.
9. Chill and Slice: Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set. Once chilled, slice the roll into even pieces and dust lightly with powdered sugar before serving.

Tips for the Best Vanilla Cream Rolls:

• Be gentle while folding the flour into the egg mixture to keep the sponge light and airy.
• Rolling the cake while it’s still warm prevents cracks and ensures a perfect shape.
• Chill the vanilla cream filling before using to maintain its firmness.
• For extra flavor, add a hint of citrus zest or a drizzle of melted chocolate over the rolls.
