Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 15×10 inch jelly roll pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In one bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and baking powder.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy and mix in the vanilla extract. Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes until it springs back when touched.
- Allow to cool slightly, then flip onto a powdered sugar-dusted kitchen towel. Roll tightly using the towel as guidance.
- For the filling, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form; add extra vanilla if desired.
- Unroll the cooled cake, spread whipped cream evenly, re-roll without the towel, slice into portions, and serve.
