Instructions:

Prepare Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, combine cake flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside. -
Beat Egg Yolks and Sugar:
In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer set on MEDIUM, beat egg yolks and 1/4 cup sugar until fluffy. -
Whip Egg Whites:
In a smaller bowl, using clean beaters, beat egg whites on high until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar and beat until stiff but not dry. -
Combine Mixtures:
Fold 1/3 of the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Alternately fold in the remaining egg whites and the flour mixture until well combined. -
Prepare Pan:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 15″ x 10″ jelly roll pan by lining it with wax paper and greasing and flouring it beforehand. -
Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. -
Roll the Cake:
Dust a clean tea cloth with the remaining confectioners’ sugar. Turn the baked cake out onto the prepared cloth, remove the wax paper, and trim the edges of the cake. Starting with a long side, tightly roll up the cake with the cloth. -
Cool and Assemble:
Transfer the rolled cake, seam side down, to a wire rack to cool. Once cooled, unroll the cake and remove the cloth. Spread Cool Whip evenly over the cake and re-roll it. -
Final Touches:
Place the rolled cake, seam side down, on a serving plate and dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving. For added indulgence, consider sprinkling chopped chocolate bits over the Cool Whip filling before rolling the cake. -
Serve and Enjoy:
