Prepare the Cake:

  4. Add milk and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  5. Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly pressed.
  8. Dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar and turn the cake out onto the towel.
  9. Peel off parchment paper and roll the cake up in the towel from the short end. Let cool completely.

Assemble the Cake Roll:
