Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on high speed until thick and pale (about 3-4 minutes).
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, alternating with the milk, until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 10 minutes or until the top springs back when gently pressed.
While the cake is baking, lay a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and dust generously with powdered sugar.
Immediately after removing the cake from the oven, invert it onto the prepared towel and gently peel off the parchment paper. Starting from one short end, roll the cake and towel together into a tight spiral. Allow it to cool completely for about 30 minutes.
While the cake is cooling, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form.
Unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream evenly across the surface, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Re-roll the cake (without the towel) and place it seam-side down on a serving platter. Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Fast N Easy Chocolate Cake Roll!
