Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, almond milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined and smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Immediately after removing it from the oven, carefully roll the cake up with the parchment paper (from the short end) and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
While the cake cools, prepare the filling by beating together the vegan powdered sugar and softened vegan butter until fluffy.
Melt the vegan dark chocolate chips with coconut cream in a microwave or double boiler until smooth, then let it cool slightly before beating it into the butter mixture.
Once the cake is cooled, unroll it gently, spread the filling evenly over the surface, and roll it back up (without the parchment).
Place the rolled cake seam-side down on a serving platter, dust with vegan chocolate shavings or cocoa powder, and chill for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
