Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400℉ (200℃). Line a jellyroll pan with parchment paper, greased with baking spray.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the plain flour and espresso powder until evenly mixed.
- Beat the egg whites in a clean bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until medium peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the whole eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until pale and thick, about 5-10 minutes.
- Gently fold the meringue into the egg mixture, then slowly incorporate the flour and espresso mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared jellyroll pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 8-10 minutes until set and lightly golden.
- Dust cocoa powder over the baked cake while warm, then invert the cake onto parchment and roll it up from one end.
- Let the rolled cake cool completely at room temperature before unrolling it.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and coffee liqueur until soft peaks form, then gently fold in mascarpone cheese.
- Spread half the filling over the unrolled cake, roll tightly back into a log shape, and frost the outer layer with remaining filling.
- Dust the outer layer with cocoa powder before serving, slice, and enjoy!
