Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 180 milliliters heavy cream
- 100 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 30 grams powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon extra cocoa powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper extends over the sides for easy lifting later.
In a 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 foamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating until the mixture is thick and pale, approximately 5 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract and vegetable oil.
Gently fold in the flour mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched lightly in the center.
While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel and sprinkle it with powdered sugar and extra cocoa powder to prevent the cake from sticking.
Once baked, immediately turn the cake out onto the prepared towel and peel off the parchment paper. Starting at one short end, carefully roll the cake up with the towel and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
For the filling, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Pour over the chocolate chips and let stand for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth and let cool slightly.
Unroll the cooled cake gently and spread the chocolate filling evenly over the surface.
Reroll the cake (without the towel) tightly and transfer it to a serving platter, seam side down.
Allow the roll to set in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Dust with additional powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
