# Instructions:

Using a large bowl, briskly mix the yolks with the sugar until it's pale and fluffy. Gradually add in the mascarpone and keep beating until smooth and creamy. Cover and place it in the fridge for at least an hour to chill. Quick tip: To make it firmer, pop it into the freezer for half an hour.

Turn your oven on to 180 °C. Gently melt the butter over low heat. Split the eggs into yolks and whites. Use an electric whisk to mix the sugar with the yolks in a bowl. Whip the whites with a pinch of salt into stiff peaks. Carefully fold the whites into the yolk mixture, alternating with the melted butter and flour. Line a baking tray with greased and floured parchment paper. Pour out the batter into a rectangular shape around 1 cm thick. Pop it into the oven for 10 minutes. Once baked, roll up the sponge cake in the parchment paper and cover it with a slightly damp tea towel. Let it cool completely on the countertop.

Mix the espresso with the amaretto. Gently unroll the cooled sponge cake. Soak it evenly with the coffee mixture using a pastry brush. Spread a thin 5 mm layer of mascarpone cream over it. Roll it back up carefully. Coat the whole roll with the remaining mascarpone cream. For a classic look, use a fork to create lines for a log-like appearance. Let it chill in the fridge for up to 6-12 hours. Before serving, trim the sides for a neat finish, and dust the surface with sifted cocoa powder.

Using a stand mixer with two bowls can make the process easier and save time, particularly when you need to prepare multiple mixtures.
