  1. To prepare the Mimosa Roll, start by making the Pastry Cream following our complete step-by-step recipe. Once ready, place it in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap making sure it touches the surface of the cream, and let it rest first at room temperature and then in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

  2. While the Pastry Cream is resting, proceed with preparing the Sponge Roll by placing egg whites, sugar, and vanilla seeds in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat with the whisk attachment until stiff peaks form.

  5. Grease a 30×20 cm (12×8 inch) baking pan with vegetable oil, line the bottom with parchment paper, pour in half of the batter, level it, and bake in a conventional oven at 190°C (375°F) for 15-20 minutes on the middle rack.

  6. Once baked, remove the sponge from the oven, use a small knife to detach it from the edges and flip it onto a dampened but well-wrung kitchen towel. Remove the parchment paper and immediately cover with plastic wrap to maintain moisture, which will help keep the sponge soft and pliable. Repeat these steps with the remaining batter.

  7. When the sponge has cooled, remove the plastic wrap and place it on a sheet of parchment paper with the prettier side down (this will be the visible side). Take the Pastry Cream, stir it gently, and spread a generous layer over the sponge.
