Steps:
- Separate egg yolks from egg whites.
- In a bowl, beat the egg whites using a mixer at low speed for 1 minute or until frothy.
- Sprinkle the cream of tartar on top and continue beating until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar, a tablespoon at a time, while continuously beating. Once all sugar is added, turn up the speed to medium and continue beating the meringue until it forms stiff glossy peaks.
- In a large bowl, cream together the egg yolks, the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until it becomes light in texture and color.
- Sift the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder and add to the egg yolk mixture. Mix well.
- Gently fold in a third of the meringue into the egg mixture and then add the rest and fold until well combined.
- Pour the batter into a 15x10x1-inch pan lined with wax or parchment paper.
- Bake in a 375 F oven for about 15 minutes or until the cake is golden.
- Remove from the oven and loosen the edges of the cake. Transfer the cake including the wax paper to a rack and allow to cool.
- Dust a wax or parchment paper with powdered sugar and invert cake onto the paper. Gently peel the other wax paper off the cake.
- Beginning with the narrow side, roll the cake up together with the wax paper. Let it cool down completely, seam side down, for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Once the cake has cooled, gently unroll and spread cake with softened margarine and sprinkle with granulated sugar and re-roll.
- Cut into 1-inch thick slices to serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan with parchment paper.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and milk. Stir in the dry ingredients gradually. The batter will be thin. Pour into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until the center springs back when pressed lightly. Don't over bake, or it may crack.
- Generously dust a clean dish towel with confectioners' sugar. Turn the cake out onto the towel, and peel off the parchment paper. Gently roll up the cake using the towel, and let cool for about 10 minutes.
- Unroll the cake, and spread an even coating of jam onto the top. Roll the cake back up into a tight spiral, and remove the towel. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Tips:
- Prepare the pan properly: Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or grease and flour it to prevent the cake from sticking.
- Make sure the egg whites are stiff: Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This will help the cake rise properly.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature: Bake the cake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Roll the cake immediately: Once the cake is baked, immediately roll it up with the parchment paper or a clean kitchen towel while it is still warm. This will help prevent the cake from cracking.
- Let the cake cool completely: Let the cake cool completely before filling and frosting it. This will help prevent the cake from falling apart.
- Use a variety of fillings: Experiment with different fillings, such as whipped cream, chocolate ganache, or fruit preserves.
- Decorate the cake as desired: You can decorate the cake with a simple dusting of powdered sugar or you can get creative with frosting, sprinkles, or other decorations.
