Method
Cake
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 15x10 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Add in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, gently folding until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cake
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
Roll the Cake
Starting from one end, gently roll the cake with the towel inside it, creating a log shape. Let it cool completely in this rolled form.
