A delightful dessert combining rich chocolate flavor with a light, airy texture, featuring a luscious whipped cream filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for filling)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for ganache)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, then lightly grease it.
  2. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
  3. Beat the eggs and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on high speed for about 5-7 minutes until thick and pale.
  4. Add the vanilla extract and vegetable oil to the egg mixture, mixing until well combined.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gently to keep the airiness.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until set.
  7. Remove the cake from the oven and sprinkle powdered sugar onto a clean kitchen towel. Flip the cake onto the towel, peel off the parchment paper, and roll it with the towel. Allow it to cool completely.
  8. Prepare the filling by beating heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  9. Unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream filling over the surface, leaving a border.
  10. Roll the cake back up without tearing it, seam-side down on a platter.
  11. Heat the heavy cream for ganache until simmering, then pour over chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Let cool slightly before pouring over the cake.
  12. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for a fluffier batter. Add espresso powder to the filling for depth of flavor.
