Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10×15-inch jelly-roll pan with parchment paper or foil. Spray parchment paper or foil with cooking spray.
2. Beat 3 eggs and 3/4 cup sugar in a bowl until well combined. Stir in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
3. In another bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg and 1/8 teaspoon cloves.
4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients to form a batter. Do not overmix.
5. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 9-10 minutes. While the cake is baking, prepare a tea towel dusted with icing sugar.
6. After baking, turn the cake out onto the tea towel, roll it up and let it cool for a few hours.
7. While it is cooling, make the frosting by beating the butter, adding icing sugar, rum and eggnog.
8. Once cooled, unroll the cake, frost it and roll it up again.
