Ingredients:
- For the Cake:
- 4 eggs
- 170g sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 85g oil
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 130g sifted all-purpose flour
- For the Filling:
- 1 jar of four-fruit compote (or your favorite fruit jelly)
- 200ml fresh heavy cream
- 1 ½ tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Line a 30x40cm rectangular baking pan with parchment paper, grease with melted butter, and dust with flour.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, salt, and baking powder until the mixture is pale, fluffy, and has tripled in volume.
- With the mixer on low, gradually add the oil and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gently fold in the sifted flour using a whisk or spatula until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Once the cake is cool, spread a thin layer of the fruit compote evenly over the surface using a spatula. Spread the whipped cream over the compote.
- Carefully roll the cake from the long side, using the parchment paper to help guide it. Once rolled, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Decorate as desired and serve.
