Begin by separating the egg whites from the yolks and beat the yolks with powdered sugar. Add salt to the egg whites and start beating them with a mixer, gradually increasing the speed. You should achieve a thick foam without bubbles. Then gently combine the egg whites with the yolks and set aside

To make the sponge cake airy, dissolve the baking soda in vinegar and add it to the sifted flour. Mix well. Now, take the egg mixture and gradually add it to the flour with baking soda

Change the mixer attachments from beaters to dough hooks and start gently beating. Set aside the homogeneous fluffy mass for the roll. Line the baking pan with foil or parchment paper and grease the surface with butter. Spread the dough and bake for five minutes. Afterward, quickly remove the sponge cake and immediately, without removing it from the foil, roll it up. Wrap it in a towel and let it cool

To prepare the cake, unroll the cooled sponge cake base and spread any cream or jam on it. To secure it, roll the filled sponge cake in foil again and let it sit for an hour. For decoration, you can use fruits or create patterns with cream using a pastry bag
