Preheat the oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar on high speed using an electric mixer until the mixture is pale, thick, and triples in volume (about 5 minutes).
Add the vanilla extract and dairy-free milk, and gently mix until just combined.
Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula until no streaks of flour remain, being careful not to deflate the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula and gently tap the pan on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the top is golden and the cake springs back when lightly touched.
While the cake is baking, lay a clean kitchen towel on the counter and dust it generously with powdered sugar.
Once the cake is done, carefully invert it onto the prepared kitchen towel while it is still warm. Remove the parchment paper and gently roll the cake with the towel (starting at a short side). Let it cool completely while rolled up.
Once the cake is completely cool, unroll it carefully. Spread the dairy-free whipped topping evenly over the surface, leaving a 1-inch border to prevent spillage when rolling.
Gently roll the cake back up (without the towel) and place it seam side down on a serving platter.
Dust the top with additional powdered sugar, slice, and serve. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
