Prepare a Kitchen Towel: While the cake is baking, lay a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and dust it with powdered sugar.

Roll the Cake: Once the cake is done baking, immediately invert it onto the prepared kitchen towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper and starting from one of the short ends, gently roll the cake and the towel together. This will help the cake keep its shape when cooled.
Cool: Allow the rolled cake to cool completely on a wire rack.

Prepare the Filling: While the cake is cooling, make the filling by whipping the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
