Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Separate the egg yolks and whites into two separate bowls.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with the granulated sugar until pale and creamy.
  • Gradually add the flour and vanilla extract to the egg yolk mixture, gently folding it in until well combined.
  • In another clean mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  • Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture until fully incorporated. Be sure to maintain the light and airy texture of the batter.
  • Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the sponge cake is golden brown and springs back when lightly touched.
  • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  • If desired, you can spread a layer of apricot jam or sprinkle a splash of rum onto the cooled sponge cake.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it thickens and forms soft peaks. You can also add a bit of powdered sugar to sweeten the cream, if desired.
  • Carefully spread the whipped cream over the sponge cake, creating an even layer.
  • Starting from one end, gently roll the cake into a log shape, being careful not to crack the cake.
  • Place the rolled cake onto a serving dish and sprinkle generously with powdered sugar for that snowy effect.
  • Slice and serve the Kardinalschnitte, and enjoy
