For the Sponge Cake:

• ¾ cup granulated sugar, divided
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• Powdered sugar for dusting

For the Raspberry Swirl Filling:

• 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp cornstarch (mixed with 1 tsp water)

For the Whipped Cream Filling:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Raspberry Swirl

1. In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat.
2. Cook until berries break down, about 5–7 minutes.
3. Stir in cornstarch slurry and simmer for 1–2 minutes until thickened.
4. Strain to remove seeds (optional) and let cool completely.

Step 2: Prepare the Sponge Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add ¼ cup of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
3. In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks with remaining ½ cup sugar until pale and thick. Add vanilla.
4. Gently fold egg yolk mixture into egg whites.
5. Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold to combine.
6. Spread the batter evenly into the pan and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and springy to the touch.

Step 3: Roll the Cake

1. While the cake is still warm, dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar.
2. Invert the cake onto the towel, peel off the parchment, and gently roll the cake from the short end, using the towel to help.
3. Let the rolled cake cool completely.
