- 1 tbsp (15ml) vegetable oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup (93g) all-purpose flour
- Powdered sugar (for rolling)
For the Filling:
- 4 oz (113g) softened cream cheese
- ⅔ cup (75g) powdered sugar
- ¾ cup (177ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp (30ml) cooled brewed coffee

Instructions
1. Prepare the Pan:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray.
2. Make the Cake batter:
•Beat eggs in a mixing bowl for 4–5 minutes until fluffy and pale.
•Gradually add sugar and mix until slightly thickened.
•Add oil, baking powder, salt, and vanilla. Fold in flour gently until fully combined.
3. Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly pressed.
4. Roll the Cake:
•While the cake bakes, prepare a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
•Turn the hot cake onto the towel, peel off the parchment, and gently roll the cake with the towel while still warm. Allow it to cool.
5. Prepare the Filling:
•Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
•Gradually add heavy cream, vanilla, and coffee, beating until fluffy and spreadable.
6. Assemble:
Unroll the cooled cake and spread the filling evenly. Re-roll the cake (without the towel), wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 10 minutes.
7. Top and Serve:
Whip the topping ingredients together until peaks form. Spread over the cake or pipe as desired. Slice and serve.

Absolutely! This roll can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.

No, you can skip it or replace it with additional brewed coffee.
Why did my filling turn out runny?
The filling may separate if the mascarpone is too cold or the cream is over-whipped. Ensure ingredients are at room temperature and mix gently.
