Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 15 minutes
Cooling time: 2-3 hours
Total time: 3 hours and 45 minutes
Servings: 8-10

Necessary ingredients:

For the base:
- 4 eggs
- 4 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons of flour

For the plum cream:
- 500 g plums (fresh or canned)
- ½ cup of sugar
- 10 g gelatin
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon of cardamom

For the cream cheese:
- 125 ml sour cream
- 150 g cream cheese (Almette or fresh cow cheese)
- 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar
- 10 g gelatin
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Preparing the base:
Start by separating the eggs. Beat the egg whites with the sugar until you get a firm foam. This is key for a fluffy base. Fold in the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and flour, gently mixing with a spatula using bottom-up movements to keep the air in the egg whites.

2. Baking the base:
Prepare a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Pour the base mixture into the tray and smooth it out. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 10-15 minutes, until it turns slightly golden and elastic to the touch.

3. Forming the roll:
As soon as the base is baked, remove it from the tray along with the paper and place it on a damp towel sprinkled with granulated sugar. Roll the base with the paper, allowing it to cool completely. This technique will help the roll keep its shape.

4. Preparing the plum cream:
Wash the plums, remove the pits, and place them in a pot with ½ cup of water and the sugar. Boil over medium heat until soft. Turn off the heat and add the gelatin soaked in cold water, cinnamon, and cardamom. Let it cool.

5. Preparing the cream cheese:
In a bowl, mix the sour cream with the cream cheese and powdered sugar. Add the soaked gelatin and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until you get a smooth and creamy mixture.

6. Assembling the roll:
Carefully unroll the base, removing the paper. Spread a generous layer of plum jelly over the entire surface, followed by the cream cheese. Roll carefully, using the towel to achieve a nice shape.

7. Cooling and serving:
Place the roll in an airtight container and let it chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours to set. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar for an elegant look.

Useful tips:
- You can replace the plums with other seasonal fruits, such as peaches or apricots, for a different version.
- If you want a more intense flavor, add a splash of lemon juice to the plum cream.
- Serve the roll with a scoop of whipped cream or ice cream for an even more decadent dessert.
