1
Preparing the Sponge CakeMix together 4 egg yolks with sugar and vanilla sugar. Once creamy, add a whole egg and mix for a few minutes with a spatula. Gradually incorporate the flour into the mixture, followed by the stiffly beaten egg whites. Line a rectangular baking sheet with lightly buttered parchment paper. Spread the batter evenly.

BakingBake at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes. Remove the cake and flip it onto a cool surface without removing the paper. Cover the cake with a kitchen towel (the moisture will make it easier to roll later).

Preparing the Butter CreamDissolve the sugar in water over low heat to make a thick syrup. Slowly pour the hot syrup over the egg yolks, continuously stirring with a whisk until completely cooled. Add the softened butter and mix until smooth. Divide the mixture in two. Flavor one half with coffee and the other with melted chocolate mixed with a little water.
