- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Place a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and dust it with powdered sugar.
- Carefully invert the cake onto the towel and remove the parchment paper.
- While the cake is still warm, roll it up tightly with the towel, starting from one of the shorter ends.
- Let the rolled cake cool completely.
- Unroll the cake and spread a layer of whipped cream evenly over the surface.
- Spread the jam on top of the whipped cream.
- Roll the cake back up, this time without the towel.
- Dust the rolled cake with powdered sugar.
