6 eggs, separated
1/4 cup + 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In medium bowl, whisk egg yolks with 2 tbsp. of sugar.
In another bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form, then turn machine to high and beat in 3 tbsp. of sugar, beating until shiny but not stiff.
Add flour to yolk mixture and whisk to combine.
Add 1/4 of whites to yolk mixture and whisk to lighten the mixture. Then return the yolk mixture to the egg whites and fold gently. Scrape into the prepared pan (lined with buttered and floured parchment paper) and even the surface using a spatula.
Bake until cake is golden brown and springs back lightly when touched, 12-15 minutes. Cool on a rack and set aside. Trim edges.

4 large eggs, separated, plus 2 egg whites, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sifted unsweetened cocoa powder plus additional sifted cocoa powder for dusting the cake
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Butter the jelly-roll pan and line it with wax paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on each of the short ends. Butter the paper and dust it with flour, shaking out the excess.
Beat egg yolks until smooth. Add 6 tablespoons of the granulated sugar, a little at a time, and beat the batter at medium speed for 3-4 minutes, or until creamy and light. Beat in the framboise. In another bowl with the hand-held mixer beat the egg whites with 1/8 teaspoon of the salt until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and beat the whites until they hold soft peaks. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, a little at a time, and beat the whites until they hold stiff peaks. Fold the whites into the batter gently but thoroughly. Sift the flour, the 1/4 cup cocoa powder, and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt over the batter, one third at a time, and fold in each addition until batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the jelly-roll pan, spread it evenly with a spatula, and bake the cake in the middle of the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until it pulls away from the sides of the pan and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Dust the cake lightly with cocoa powder, cover it with wax paper, and let it cool to warm. Pull the edges of the wax paper away from the pan, invert the cake onto a baking sheet and carefully peel off the paper. Dust the cake lightly with the remaining cocoa powder, cover it with wax paper, and roll it up. Let the cake cool completely.
