Notes

Bring the eggs and condensed milk to room temperature before making the sponge.
Keep all cream ingredients cold for the best texture.
Roll the sponge while it's still warm to help prevent cracks.
Chill before slicing for cleaner pieces.
Tastes even better after a few hours in the refrigerator.
