To make this mouth-watering dessert, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs, separated
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup strong brewed espresso, cooled
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the cooled espresso to the egg mixture and stir until well combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until just combined. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until no white streaks remain. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake is lightly golden and springs back when touched. Remove from the oven and immediately dust the top with powdered sugar.
Using the parchment paper, carefully roll the cake up from the short end. Allow the cake to cool completely in the rolled position. Once cooled, unroll the cake and spread a layer of whipped cream or cream cheese frosting over the top. Roll the cake back up and dust with additional powdered sugar, if desired.
