Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

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

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Decoration:

  • Red and green sprinkles


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the appropriate temperature by the time the batter is ready.
  2. Prepare Pan: Grease a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cake removal.
  3. Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture becomes thick and pale, creating a light texture for the sponge.
  4. Add Vanilla: Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the egg mixture for flavor.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt evenly.
  6. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the egg mixture carefully to avoid deflating the batter.
  7. Spread Batter: Evenly spread the prepared batter into the lined jelly roll pan for an even bake.
  8. Bake: Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and springy to the touch.
  9. Roll Cake Warm: Immediately turn the cake out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar, then roll the cake up with the towel inside to shape it and let it cool completely.
  10. Prepare Filling: Whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks, then gently mix in powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for a smooth and sweet filling.
  11. Fill the Cake: Carefully unroll the cooled cake, spread the vanilla whipped cream evenly over the surface.
  12. Reroll Cake: Roll the cake back up tightly without the towel, maintaining its shape and cream filling inside.
  13. Chill: Refrigerate the cake for 1 hour to set the cream and enhance flavors.
  14. Decorate and Serve: Before serving, decorate the top with festive red and green sprinkles for a charming Christmas presentation.

Notes

  • Be sure to roll the cake while still warm to prevent cracking.
  • For best results, use fresh eggs at room temperature.
  • You can substitute heavy cream with whipping cream if desired.
  • The sprinkles add a festive touch but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Store the cake refrigerated and consume within 2-3 days for freshness.
