1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup whole milk
1 cup fresh raspberries
8 ounces white chocolate (high-quality bar, chopped)
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale.
3. Sift in cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold gently.
4. Stir in vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and milk just until combined.
5. Pour batter into pan, spread evenly, and bake for 12–14 minutes.
6. Remove from oven, rest for 1–2 minutes, then invert onto a powdered sugar-dusted towel.
7. Peel off parchment and roll up the cake with the towel. Let cool completely.
8. Heat cream to a simmer, pour over chopped white chocolate, and stir to melt. Chill slightly.
9. Unroll cake, spread ganache, and sprinkle raspberries. Roll it back up tightly.
10. Frost the outside with remaining ganache. Decorate with raspberries, powdered sugar, or white chocolate curls.
Notes
This cake is best rolled while still warm to avoid cracking.
Use high-quality white chocolate for the smoothest ganache.
Chill before serving for cleaner slices and better texture.
