Ingredients
Scale
For the Sponge Cake:
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Filling:
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
For Decoration:
- Whipped cream
- Fresh raspberries
- Chocolate ganache (optional)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the paper.
- In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with half of the sugar until thick and pale. Add vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add the remaining sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture, sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt, then fold until combined.
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cake springs back when touched.
- Turn the cake onto a kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar, peel off parchment, and roll the cake up in the towel. Cool completely.
- For the filling, beat mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Whip the heavy cream and fold it into the mascarpone mixture.
- Unroll the cooled cake, spread the filling, and sprinkle with fresh raspberries. Re-roll the cake without the towel.
- Decorate with whipped cream, fresh raspberries, chocolate ganache (if desired), and dust with powdered sugar.
