Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.

- In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy (about 5 minutes).

- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until cake springs back when touched.
- While warm, turn cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
- Peel off parchment, then roll cake (with towel) starting from the short end.
- Let cool completely.
- Unroll cooled cake gently.
- Spread a layer of vanilla ice cream, then a layer of strawberry/raspberry ice cream.
- Sprinkle with fresh raspberries if desired.
- Roll cake back up tightly, wrap in plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
- Heat cream until simmering, pour over chocolate chips, and stir until smooth.
- Let cool slightly before pouring over frozen cake roll.
- Pipe whipped cream rosettes on top.
- Add fresh raspberries and rainbow sprinkles for a fun Neapolitan look.
- Slice with a sharp knife (dipped in warm water for clean cuts).

Notes
- Ensure the cake is completely cooled before filling to prevent melting the ice cream.
- Use a sharp knife for slicing to maintain the cake roll’s shape.
