STEP 1: In a mixing bowl, mix the egg yolks with the sugar until it becomes pale in color.
STEP 2: Gradually add the sifted flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract, while mixing well.
STEP 3: In another bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks, which will make the batter lighter.
STEP 4: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the previous mixture to avoid breaking them.
STEP 5: Preheat your oven to 180°C (gas mark 6) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

STEP 7: Bake for about 10 minutes until the biscuit is lightly golden and soft to the touch.

STEP 9: Generously spread the jam of your choice over the surface, then gently roll the cake.
STEP 10: Let the soft cake sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before dusting it with powdered sugar.
