Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400℉ (200℃) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. Sift together the plain flour and espresso powder in a bowl.
  3. Beat the egg whites until foamy and gradually incorporate sugar until medium peaks form.
  4. In another bowl, combine the egg yolks, whole eggs, and sugar, then beat until it reaches the ribbon stage.
  5. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk mixture in three additions, then fold in the sifted flour mixture.
  6. Pour the cake batter into your prepared pan and bake for 8-10 minutes until it springs back lightly when touched.
  7. Cool the cake on a piece of parchment dusted with cocoa powder, then roll it up and let it cool for about 20 minutes.
  8. Whip the cream with sugar, vanilla extract, and coffee liqueur until soft peaks form, then fold in the mascarpone cheese.
  9. Unroll the cooled cake, spread filling evenly over the surface, roll it back up tightly, and frost the exterior with the remaining filling.
  10. Dust the top with cocoa powder and trim the ends for a neat appearance, ready to serve.

Notes

Ensure no egg yolk touches the egg whites. Let the cake cool completely before adding the filling to avoid melting. For an elegant touch, dust with cocoa just before serving.
