👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the sponge cake

Line a rectangular baking tray with parchment paper.

Beat eggs and sugar until pale, thick, and fluffy (about 5–7 minutes).
Gently fold in sifted flour.
Add vanilla, milk, and oil, mixing carefully.

Pour batter into the tray and spread evenly.
Bake for 12–15 minutes until lightly golden.

2. Roll while warm

Place a clean parchment or towel over the cake.
Flip it out and peel off the baking paper.
Roll the cake gently while still warm, then let it cool.

3. Prepare whipped cream

Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.

4. Make berry sauce

Cook berries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat.
Add cornstarch slurry and simmer until thick and glossy.
Let cool completely.

5. Assemble

Unroll the cooled cake.
Spread a layer of jam, then whipped cream.
Add fresh raspberries evenly.

Roll the cake back tightly.

6. Decorate

Pour berry sauce over the top.
Garnish with fresh berries and edible flowers.
Dust lightly with powdered sugar if desired.

7. Chill

Refrigerate for 1–2 hours before slicing for clean cuts.
