Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line an 8x12 inch cake pan with parchment paper, greasing the sides.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks, whole fat milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together cake flour, baking powder, sugar, and sea salt, then create a well and add the wet mixture, combining gently.
- Whip egg whites until frothy, add cream of tartar, then gradually mix in sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the whipped egg whites into the batter in thirds, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and tap to remove air bubbles.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean, then cool for 5 minutes in the pan.
- Invert the cake onto a cooling rack, remove parchment, and roll the cake tightly in fresh parchment paper to cool completely.
Whipped Cream and Assembly
- Chill heavy cream and other cream ingredients for at least 2 hours, dissolve gelatin in water as per directions.
- Whip the chilled cream with sugar, instant coffee, and gelatin until stiff peaks form.
- Unroll cooled cake and spread whipped cream evenly over it, then re-roll without parchment and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Decorate the top with reserved whipped cream and serve chilled.

Notes
Ensure all eggs are at room temperature for optimal volume. Avoid overbaking to keep the cake moist.
