Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract

For Dusting:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)

For Decoration (Optional):

  • Food coloring (optional, for decoration)
  • Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper lightly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together on high speed until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Add the vanilla and almond extracts, mixing until combined.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  6. Prepare Towel: While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel by dusting it with powdered sugar.
  7. Invert Cake: Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and immediately invert it onto the prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
  8. Roll and Cool: Starting from one short end, roll the cake up with the towel inside. Let it cool completely in this rolled shape, about 30 minutes.
  9. Make Whipped Cream: In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  10. Unroll and Fill: Once the cake has cooled, unroll it gently and spread the whipped cream filling evenly over the surface. Roll the cake back up without the towel.
  11. Decorate: Place the cake seam-side down on a serving platter. Dust with powdered sugar and decorate with food coloring and sprinkles if desired.
  12. Chill: Chill the cake roll in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Greasing the parchment paper lightly ensures easy removal of the cake.
  • Dusting the towel with powdered sugar helps prevent the cake from sticking when rolling.
  • Rolling the cake while warm helps to prevent cracking.
  • Chilling the cake before slicing allows the filling to set and enhances flavor.
