Ingredients

Scale

4 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup strawberry jam or puree

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a jelly roll pan (15x10 inches) with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until pale and frothy. Fold in flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, and vanilla until just combined.
Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 12-15 minutes until it springs back when touched.
Cool slightly, then flip onto a powdered sugar-dusted towel and roll up tightly. Let cool completely.
Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form; add powdered sugar gradually until stiff peaks form. Reserve one-third and fold in strawberry jam into the remaining whipped cream.
Unroll the cooled cake, spread the strawberry cream evenly, roll back without the towel, and transfer to a platter.
