Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until pale and thick (3–4 minutes).
- Add vanilla. Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt, folding gently.
- Stir in milk until smooth.
- Spread batter evenly in pan. Bake 10–12 minutes, until springy to the touch.

- Peel off parchment and roll up with the towel. Let cool completely.
- Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Fold in crushed cookies.
- Unroll cooled sponge. Spread filling evenly over surface.
- Gently re-roll the cake without the towel.
- Place seam-side down and chill for 30 minutes.

Notes
- Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for better volume.
- Dust the towel with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
