Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, beat 4 eggs and 3/4 cup sugar with an electric mixer until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Step 3
Gently fold in 3/4 cup flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
Step 4
Bake until the cake springs back when touched, about 10-12 minutes. Immediately turn out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
Step 5
Roll the cake with the towel from a short end, starting while hot. Let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
Step 6
In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 1/4 cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Unroll the cooled cake, spread the cream over it, and re-roll without the towel.
Step 7
Place the rolled cake seam-side down on a serving plate. Dust with extra powdered sugar if desired, then slice and serve.
