Cake recipe adapted from Kitchen Tigress.

For the cake:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease with oil or butter a 13×9 Swiss roll pan or baking tray of similar dimension. Line with parchment paper.

Using a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat egg whites and add sugar while beating. Beat until stiff peaks form.

Add yolks to whites in 2 batches, Whisk on low until evenly mixed.

Sift half the flour into batter. Add salt. Mix on low speed until uniform. Sift remaining cake flour into mixture. Stir in vanilla extract and oil.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake at 375ºF for 5 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking an additional 7–8 minutes until cake is golden and springy yet firm to the touch. Allow to cool on wire rack.

Invert cake on fresh parchment. Peel existing paper from bottom of cake. Roll with prepared fillings. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until ready to serve.
