Ingredients

Scale

For the cake:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Pink gel food coloring (a drop)

For the filling:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup raspberry preserves

For the topping (optional):

  • Fresh raspberries
  • Powdered sugar
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare batter: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar on high speed for 5–6 minutes until thick, pale, and doubled in volume. Add vanilla extract and a drop of pink gel food coloring and mix gently.
  2. Mix dry ingredients and combine: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the egg mixture, then add milk and fold until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  3. Bake the cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and spread it out smoothly. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the top springs back when lightly touched and the cake is just set.
  4. Roll the warm cake: Immediately turn the cake out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted generously with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment paper and carefully roll the warm cake up in the towel from the short side. Allow it to cool completely while rolled to hold its shape.
  5. Prepare the filling: Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold the whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture to create a light and fluffy filling.
  6. Assemble the roll: Once the cake has completely cooled, carefully unroll it. Spread a thin, even layer of raspberry preserves over the cake, followed by the cream cheese filling.
  7. Re-roll and chill: Gently re-roll the cake without the towel to form a compact spiral. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to set.
  8. Serve: Before serving, dust the roll cake with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh raspberries and whipped cream if desired. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use seedless raspberry preserves for a smoother texture in the filling.
  • Adding finely chopped freeze-dried raspberries to the filling enhances flavor and color.
  • Chill the cake thoroughly before slicing to achieve clean, neat slices.
