Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with baking spray.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the plain flour and instant espresso powder.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until foamy, gradually add sugar, and continue whipping until medium peaks form.
- In another bowl, combine the egg yolks, whole eggs, and a portion of sugar, and whip until it reaches the ribbon stage.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture in three additions.
- Slowly add the sifted flour and espresso powder mixture to the cake batter and fold until no dry flour remains.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Once baked, roll the cake in the parchment paper tightly and allow it to cool for 20 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and coffee liqueur, then beat until soft peaks form. Fold in mascarpone cheese.
- Spread half of the cream filling over the cooled cake, roll it tightly back into a log, and frost the outside with remaining filling.
- Dust with cocoa powder before serving and trim the ends of the log for a clean presentation.

Notes
Allow cake to cool completely before applying the filling. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
