Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12x17-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of fine sea salt.
- Separate 4 large cold eggs into two bowls. Beat the egg whites with 50 g of granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
- In the yolk bowl, add 100 g of sugar, 180 g of canned pumpkin puree, and 1½ teaspoons of pure vanilla extract. Whisk until creamy.
- Gently sift the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Gradually fold the beaten egg whites into the pumpkin batter until no streaks are visible.
- Pour the batter into the lined baking pan, spreading it evenly to the corners.
- Bake for 12-13 minutes. The cake is done when its center springs back to the touch.
- Invert the cake onto a dusted parchment. Roll the warm cake tightly into a log and let it cool completely.
- Combine 250 ml of cold heavy cream with 40 g of powdered sugar and the chai spices; whip until stiff peaks form.
- Unroll the cooled cake, spread the chai whipped cream evenly, and roll it back up.
- Wrap the Pumpkin Chai Swiss Roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- Trim off the ends of the roll for a clean presentation. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes
Handle the cake gently to prevent cracks. Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements for best results.
