🍴 Ingredients:
🧁 Cake:
- 🥚 4 large eggs
- 🍬 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 🌾 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 🍫 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 🧂 1 tsp baking powder
- 🧂 1/4 tsp salt
- 🍦 1 tsp vanilla extract
🍥 Filling:
- 🥛 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 🍚 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 🍦 1 tsp vanilla extract
🍰 Dusting & Garnish:
- 🍚 Powdered sugar, for dusting
- 🍫 Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional)
🍳 Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat and Prepare:
🔥 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it. This prevents sticking and ensures a perfect roll.
2️⃣ Whip the Eggs and Sugar:
🥄 In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar using a hand or stand mixer for about 5 minutes, until thick, pale, and doubled in size. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
3️⃣ Combine the Dry Ingredients:
🥣 In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into the egg mixture using a spatula to maintain airiness.
4️⃣ Pour and Bake:
🧁 Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the top springs back when touched.
5️⃣ Roll the Cake:
🧻 While still warm, invert the cake onto a powdered sugar-dusted towel. Peel off parchment, and roll the cake up with the towel inside. Let it cool completely.
6️⃣ Whip the Cream:
🍶 In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
7️⃣ Fill and Roll:
🍰 Unroll the cake, spread the whipped cream filling evenly, then re-roll it (without the towel). Chill for at least 1 hour, seam-side down.
8️⃣ Dust and Serve:
✨ Before serving, dust with powdered sugar and optionally garnish with cocoa or chocolate shavings.
