Vanilla Cream Roll
Ingredients
Vanilla Sponge Cake
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil or melted butter
Vanilla Cream Filling
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Make the Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Roll the Cake
- While hot, sprinkle a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar.
- Turn cake onto towel, peel off parchment.
- Roll cake up with the towel inside (short side).

4. Fill & Finish
