Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until pale, thick, and fluffy.
Mix in vanilla extract and milk until combined.
Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until smooth.
Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cake springs back lightly when touched.
Dust a clean kitchen towel generously with powdered sugar.
Turn the warm cake onto the towel and carefully peel away the parchment paper.
Roll the cake gently inside the towel from the short end and allow it to cool completely.
For the filling, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then fold in whipped cream or whipped topping.
Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the filling evenly over the surface.
Roll the cake back up tightly without the towel.
Chill for at least 1 hour before decorating.
Decorate with pastel sprinkles, mini chocolate eggs, frosting, or fresh berries before slicing and serving.

Notes

Rolling the cake while warm helps prevent cracking. Dust the towel generously with powdered sugar to keep the cake from sticking. Chill before slicing for cleaner, more stable pieces.
