1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Separate 4 large room temperature eggs into two bowls, ensuring no yolks mix with the whites.

3

Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, whip the egg whites with 1/4 cup granulated sugar on high for about 5 minutes until stiff peaks form.

4

In another bowl, mix the egg yolks with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.

5

Sift together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder into the egg yolk mixture, mixing on low until just combined.

6

Fold the whipped egg whites into the batter in three batches, being careful to maintain the volume of the mixture.

7

Transfer the batter to a greased 12 by 17 inch sheet pan, spreading it evenly to the edges with an offset spatula.

8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the center is springy to the touch.

9

Prepare a smooth kitchen towel dusted generously with cocoa powder for rolling the cake.

10

Once the cake is done, run a knife along the edges to ensure it’s not stuck, then quickly invert it onto the prepared towel.

11

Roll the cake starting from the short end while it’s still hot, and let it cool completely on a wire rack for about 2 hours.
