Step 1

Prepare a 9" by 13" baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks into 2 different bowls (one for egg whites and one for egg yolks).

Step 3

Tip: ensure your bowl for beating the egg whites is clean, with no traces of oil. Give the bowl and whisk a quick wipe with paper towel and a bit of lemon juice or vinegar prior to adding the egg whites.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 375°F/191°C.

Step 5

Combine the egg yolks with 30g sugar and whisk together. Add in the oil, milk, vanilla extract and whisk again.

Step 6

Sift in the cake flour over top of the egg yolk mixture and whisk to combine, until there are no lumps.

Step 7

In a clean stand mixer bowl fitted with a whisk attachment, add the room temperature egg whites.

Step 8

Turn on the mixer on low speed.

Step 9

Once the egg whites become foamy with bubbles, add in a little cream of tartar (or lemon juice/vinegar).

Step 10

Gradually increase the speed of the mixer, and slowly pour in the granulated sugar.

Step 11

Continue to whip the egg whites until fluffy, shiny and reaches a soft peak. (The egg whites will form a curved tail at the end of the whisk).

Step 12

Using a spatula, fold about ⅓rd of the egg whites into the egg yolk batter. This will help to loosen up the egg yolk batter.

Step 13

Note: Folding is different than stirring. It takes a lighter hand to not deflate the whipped egg whites. To fold, take the spatula to the bottom of the mixture, and scoop up (a slow flick of the wrist) while turning the bowl about 90 degrees. Continue to turn the bowl and fold until the mixture is almost homogeneous.

Step 14

Add the next 3rd of the egg white mixture, folding it into the egg yolk mixture. Continue to fold until all of the remaining egg white mixture is incorporated into the batter, but be sure not to overfold or the egg whites will be deflated.

Step 15

Transfer the cake batter to a 9″ by 13″ baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 16

Give the tray a few taps to release any trapped air bubbles.

Step 17

Bake at 375°F/191°C for 14-15 minutes, until the cake surface is golden brown and dry to the touch. The cake should be bounce back when slightly pressed with a finger tip.

Step 18

Remove the cake from the oven and immediately drop it from a height of 1′. This prevents the cake from shrinkage.

Step 19

Let the cake cool on a cooling rack for 10-15 minutes (just until it’s the slightest bit warm — not completely cool).

Step 20

While the cake is cooling, make the whipped cream.

Step 21

Tip: A chilled bowl (in the fridge) will help the cream to whip up nicely.

Step 22

Pour the heavy cream into the chilled bowl, add in the powdered sugar and use a whisk to whip to stiff peaks. (Don’t overwhip or the cream will turn into butter).

Step 23

Place the slightly warm cake onto a large piece of parchment paper, with the top side down (the browned exterior). Of course, you can choose to roll it the other way if you like.

Step 24

Dollop the whipped cream onto the surface of the cake.

Step 25

Use an offset spatula to evenly spread the whipped cream over the entire cake.

Step 26

Starting at the short end, use the parchment paper to help gently roll up the cake.

Step 27

Use the parchment paper to gently push the roll so it is taut.

Step 28

Make sure the seam-side is facing down, seal the ends of the parchment paper.

Step 29

Place the cake onto a tray and into the fridge for at least 6 hours to firm up.

Step 30

Cut the cake ends off with a serrated knife. Use a damp, warm towel to clean the knife in between slices.

Step 31

Cut into thick slices and serve.
