Ingredients with Measurements:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp orange zest
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Special Equipment Needed:
- 10x15 inch jelly roll pan
- Parchment paper
- Electric mixer
- Sifter
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar with an electric mixer on high speed for 5 minutes or until thick and lemon-colored.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to egg mixture, beating on low speed until just combined.
4. Stir in vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice.
5. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched.
7. While the cake is still warm, sprinkle powdered sugar over a clean kitchen towel. Invert the cake onto the towel and carefully remove the parchment paper.
8. Starting at the short end, roll up the cake and towel together. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
9. Once cooled, carefully unroll the cake and spread your desired filling (such as whipped cream or orange marmalade) over the surface.
10. Roll the cake back up, without the towel, and place seam-side down on a serving platter.
