Ingredients
  

  • For the Cake:
  • All-purpose flour: 1 cup
  • Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
  • Large eggs: 3
  • Granulated sugar: 1 cup
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Milk: 1/4 cup
  • Unsalted butter melted: 1/4 cup
  • For the Filling:
  • Fresh raspberries or frozen, thawed: 1 cup
  • White chocolate chips: 1 cup
  • Heavy whipping cream: 1 cup
  • Powdered sugar: 2 tablespoons
  • Vanilla extract for the cream: 1 teaspoon
  • For Garnish:
  • Powdered sugar: For dusting

Equipment

  • 15x10-inch Jelly Roll Pan
  • Parchment Paper
  • Clean Kitchen Towel
  • Electric Mixer (handheld or stand)
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Medium Bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving overhang.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and 1 cup sugar on high speed for about 5 minutes until the mixture is thick and pale. Mix in the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Finish Cake Batter: Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, alternating with the milk and melted butter. Mix until just combined.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  6. Prep for Rolling: While the cake is baking, dust a clean kitchen towel heavily with powdered sugar.
  7. Roll Cake (1): Immediately invert the hot cake onto the towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper. Roll the cake up tightly in the towel, starting from the short end.
  8. Cool: Allow the cake to cool completely in the towel on a wire rack.
  9. Make Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  10. Finish Filling: Gently fold in the raspberries and white chocolate chips.
  11. Assemble: Once the cake is cool, unroll it gently. Spread the raspberry white chocolate filling evenly over the surface.
  12. Roll Cake (2): Roll the cake back up without the towel, and place it seam-side down on a serving platter.
  13. Chill and Serve: Chill the cake roll in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before slicing. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Rolling is Key: Rolling the cake while it's hot trains the cake to hold the coiled shape, preventing cracks when you fill it later.
Chocolate Twist: Substitute half of the white chocolate chips with semi-sweet chocolate chips for a chocolate twist.
Berry Swap: You can use other berries like strawberries or blueberries for a different flavor profile.
Cooling Time: Ensure the cake is completely cool before filling; otherwise, the whipped cream filling will melt.
