Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Combine flour and instant espresso in a mixing bowl. In another bowl, beat egg whites until frothy, then gradually add sugar until stiff peaks form.
Whisk together egg yolks and whole eggs until thickened; fold in dry mixture gently.
Fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture carefully.
Spread batter evenly on the baking tray; bake for about 8 minutes or until lightly golden.
For the filling, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, then mix in confectioners' sugar and vanilla; fold in mascarpone gently.
Once the sponge is cool, spread the cream filling over it evenly and roll tightly from one end.
Wrap in plastic wrap and chill before serving; dust with cocoa powder just before slicing.
