Let's get to work!

Ingredients

*For the sponge:*
- 4 eggs
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 3 tablespoons of flour

*For the filling:*
- 1 packet of vanilla cream powder
- 200 ml of sweet milk
- 100 g of sour cream
- 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar
- vanilla essence
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 2-3 tablespoons of chocolate chips

Step-by-step instructions

Step 1: Preparing the sponge

1. Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. This step is essential for obtaining a fluffy sponge.
2. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with a mixer until they become frothy. Gradually add the sugar and continue mixing until you achieve a glossy and firm meringue.
3. Add the yolks, gently folding with a spatula to avoid losing air from the mixture.
4. Fold in the sifted flour, mixing gently with up-and-down motions.

Tip: Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature; this will help with better homogenization.

Step 2: Baking the sponge

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (moderate heat).
2. Place a baking paper in a baking tray (approximately 30 x 40 cm) and pour the sponge mixture. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
3. Bake the sponge for 8-10 minutes or until it becomes lightly golden and elastic to the touch.

Step 3: Preparing the vanilla cream

1. In a medium bowl, add the milk, sugar, sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla cream powder.
2. Use a mixer to beat the ingredients for 3-4 minutes until the cream becomes firm and homogeneous.
3. Add the chocolate chips and vanilla essence, gently folding with a spatula.

Step 4: Assembling the roll

1. After the sponge has baked, remove it from the oven and turn it onto a damp towel, being careful not to burn yourself. Carefully remove the baking paper.
2. With the help of the towel, tightly roll the sponge, allowing it to cool in this shape for a few minutes. This technique will help maintain the roll's shape.
3. Once slightly cooled, unroll the sponge, spread the vanilla cream evenly, leaving a margin of about 1 cm.
4. Using the towel, roll the sponge again, being careful not to damage the cream.

Step 5: Decorating and cooling

1. Melt the chocolate and pour it over the roll, creating an appetizing decoration.
2. Let the roll cool until serving time, allowing the flavors to blend perfectly.

Serving suggestions: You can slice the roll and serve it with a scoop of ice cream or with a refreshing drink, such as fruit tea or natural juice.
