Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on high speed for about 5 minutes until the mixture is pale, thick, and ribbony.
Add the vanilla extract and almond milk to the egg mixture, mixing until just combined.
Gradually fold in the dry ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 10 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched in the center.
While the cake is baking, lay a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and generously dust it with powdered sugar.
Once the cake is done, immediately invert it onto the prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
Starting at the short end, roll the cake and towel together into a spiral. Allow it to cool completely for about 30 minutes.
Unroll the cooled cake and spread the softened low-fat vanilla ice cream evenly over the surface, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Re-roll the cake (without the towel) and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Before serving, dust the cake roll with a light sprinkling of powdered sugar. Slice into 8 even pieces and enjoy!
