- π¬ 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- πΎ 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- π« 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- π§ 1 tsp baking powder
- π§ 1/4 tsp salt
- π¦ 1 tsp vanilla extract
π₯ Filling:

- π 2 tbsp powdered sugar

π° Dusting & Garnish:

π³ Instructions:
1οΈβ£ Preheat and Prepare:
π₯ Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it. This prevents sticking and ensures a perfect roll.
2οΈβ£ Whip the Eggs and Sugar:
π₯ 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.
3οΈβ£ Combine the Dry Ingredients:
π₯£ In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into the egg mixture using a spatula to maintain airiness.
4οΈβ£ Pour and Bake:
π§ Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 10β12 minutes, or until the top springs back when touched.
5οΈβ£ Roll the Cake:
𧻠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.
6οΈβ£ Whip the Cream:
πΆ In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
7οΈβ£ Fill and Roll:
π° 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.
8οΈβ£ Dust and Serve:
β¨ Before serving, dust with powdered sugar and optionally garnish with cocoa or chocolate shavings.
