Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form using an electric mixer.
Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
Fold in the vanilla extract gently to combine.
In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking powder.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg white mixture, being careful to maintain the airiness.
Add the skim milk and fold lightly until you have a smooth batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the sponge springs back when gently touched.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly in the pan.
Turn the cake out onto a clean surface and carefully remove the parchment paper. Roll the cake with the help of a kitchen towel and let it cool completely.
In a bowl, beat together the low-fat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Unroll the cooled sponge cake carefully and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface.
Roll the cake back up tightly, without the kitchen towel.
Dust with cocoa powder before serving. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set before slicing into servings.
