Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup heavy cream (whipped)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for filling and dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale (about 5 minutes).
- Sift together flour and cocoa powder into the egg mixture; fold gently with a spatula.
- Slowly add melted butter while folding until fully incorporated.
- Pour the batter onto the prepared sheet evenly and bake for 12-15 minutes until it springs back when touched.
- Once baked, cool briefly then roll tightly in parchment paper while warm to maintain shape as it cools completely.
- For the filling, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Unroll the cooled cake and spread the filling evenly before rolling again without parchment paper.
