  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (thermostat 6). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and powdered sugar until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy.

  3. Step 3

    Gently fold in sifted flour and baking powder into the egg and sugar mixture using a spatula, taking care not to overmix to preserve the lightness of the batter.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly with a spatula.

  5. Step 5

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cake is golden and springy to the touch.

  6. Step 6

    Meanwhile, prepare a clean kitchen towel generously dusted with confectioner's sugar.

  7. Step 7

    Immediately after removing the cake from the oven, gently flip it onto the prepared kitchen towel dusted with confectioner's sugar. Carefully remove the parchment paper.

  8. Step 8

    Roll the cake, starting with the shortest side, using the towel to help keep it rolled tight. Allow to cool completely.

  9. Step 9

    Once cooled, unroll the cake gently and spread the jam evenly over its entire surface.

  10. Step 10

    Roll the cake again and place it on a serving platter. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar for a final touch.
