Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh berries (strawberries and blueberries)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until pale and tripled in volume (about 5 minutes). Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In another bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Gently fold this into the egg mixture without deflating it.
  4. Pour the batter into the pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Once baked, turn the cake out onto powdered sugar-dusted parchment paper, peel off the original paper, and roll it up while still warm. Let it cool completely.
  6. Unroll the cooled cake, spread whipped cream over it, and layer on fresh berries. Carefully re-roll without parchment and slice to serve.
