Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs using an electric mixer until thick and pale, about 3-4 minutes.
Gradually add the granulated sugar to the eggs and continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gently fold in the dry ingredient mixture into the egg mixture until just combined, being careful not to deflate the batter.
Stir in the plant-based milk until the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 2 minutes.
Turn the cake out onto a clean sheet of parchment paper. Carefully peel off the original parchment paper.
While the cake is still warm, gently roll it up with the clean parchment paper and allow it to cool completely.
To prepare the filling, melt the dairy-free chocolate with the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler.
In a separate bowl, whip the coconut cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped coconut cream until well combined.
Unroll the cooled cake and spread the chocolate coconut cream filling evenly over the cake.
Re-roll the cake without the parchment paper and transfer it to a serving platter.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
