If you’ve ever tried to make a coffee-flavored sponge cake roll that actually holds together, stays fluffy, and tastes like more than just a hint of coffee, you know it’s harder than it looks. Most recipes either underdeliver on flavor or collapse when rolled. This one uses instant coffee for a bold kick and a classic sponge technique to ensure a tender, rollable crumb—perfect for afternoon tea or an elegant coffee break.
