4 large eggs, separate
3/4 cup caster sugar, divided evenly
1 tsp vanilla extract

Production instructions
Prepare the cake
Preheat and prepare the baking dish: Preheat oven to 350 ° F (175 °C). Grease a 10 x 15 inch donut pan and line with parchment paper, leaving excess for easy removal.
Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Set aside for later use.
Whisk the egg yolks and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with 1/2 cup caster sugar until the mixture is light and thickened (about 2-3 minutes). Add vanilla extract and milk and stir until well combined.
Beat egg whites: In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until bubbly. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and continue beating until soft and foamy.
Add ingredients: Gently pour the dry ingredients into the egg yolk mixture. Carefully add the egg whites whipped twice, taking care not to deflate the batter.
Apply the batter: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
To bake the cake: Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cake springs back to its original shape upon touch, with no problem inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake.
Roll cake
Place a clean tea towel on a flat surface and sprinkle with the right amount of rock sugar. While the cake is still warm, carefully flip it onto a tea towel and tear off the parchment paper. Start rolling from one short side of the cake and allow the cake to cool completely as you roll.
Prepare the filling
In a bowl add heavy whipped cream, rock sugar and vanilla extract and beat until bubbly.
Assemble the cake rolls
Unfold the sponge cake: Once the sponge cake has cooled, unfold it carefully and spread the whipped cream evenly over the surface, leaving a small edge at the edges.
Roll up the sponge cake again: Once again, gently roll the sponge cake, unedged, and place seam side down on the plate.
Optional Chocolate Ganache:
Prepare the ganache chocolate sauce (optional): In a microwave-safe bowl, heat heavy cream until hot (about 30 seconds). Pour in the chocolate chips and let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth. Drizzle over the top of the cake roll.
Serve: Sprinkle with rock sugar or cocoa powder as desired, slice and enjoy!
Tips
Be careful not to overbake the cake to ensure it stays moist.
