- Incorporate whipped egg whites carefully into the batter.
- Pour and spread the batter evenly in the prepared jelly roll pan.
- Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes until edges are lightly browned.
- Cool the cake, then roll it in a powdered sugar-dusted towel.
- Prepare filling by whipping mascarpone cheese with vanilla and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Unroll cake, spread filling, and re-roll tightly.
- Prepare meringue frosting by heating egg whites and sugar in a double boiler, then whip to stiff peaks.
