Ingredients

120 g plain flour
4 eggs
4 teaspoons powdered sugar
10 g baking powder
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
jam to taste (e.g. apricot or currant)
grated coconut for sprinkling

Preparation procedure

Batter: In a bowl whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Add the sugar, then mix in the oil and lemon juice. Mix the flour with the baking powder and gradually add it to the egg mixture. Stir with a whisk until a smooth batter forms.
Baking: Line a baking tray with parchment paper and pour the prepared batter onto it. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for about 25 minutes, until the surface turns golden.
Rolling: Remove the baked sponge from the oven and, while still warm, spread it with jam. Carefully roll it into a log using parchment or a towel and let it cool. Then place the roll in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Finishing: After cooling, spread another layer of jam over the surface of the roll and generously sprinkle with grated coconut. You can slice and serve.
