Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Separate the eggs, placing egg whites in a clean bowl and yolks in another. Chill egg whites for about 10 minutes.
  3. In the yolk bowl, mix corn oil and milk. Whisk until blended, then sift in cake flour gradually.
  4. Gently fold the yolk mixture until homogenous, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Whip the chilled egg whites with lemon juice until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar until stiff peaks form.
  6. Fold whipped egg whites into the yolk batter carefully in three additions.
  7. Pour the batter into the baking tray and bake for 20 minutes at 150°C, then raise temperature to 160°C and bake for another 10 minutes.
  8. Remove the cake, flip it onto parchment paper, and roll gently while warm. Let it rest for about 30 minutes.
  9. Once cooled, unroll the cake, spread your choice of filling, roll back up tightly, and slice into pieces.
