Description
A light and delightful dessert featuring a soft chocolate cake rolled with a rich creamy filling, perfect for sharing with friends and family.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk or strong coffee
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 oz cream cheese
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar or ganache for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment and grease the pan.
- Whisk the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
- Beat the eggs and sugar for 3–4 minutes until thick and pale. Add oil, vanilla, and milk or coffee and mix.
- Fold in the dry mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spread the batter in the pan in one even layer. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the cake springs back when touched.
- Invert the cake onto a clean towel dusted with cocoa. Peel off the paper and roll the cake in the towel while warm. Let it cool fully while rolled.
- Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add the heavy cream and whip to stiff peaks.
- Unroll the cooled cake. Spread the filling in one even layer. Reroll the cake without the towel. Chill for 1 hour to set.
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with ganache before cutting and serving.
Notes
Use a thin towel dusted with cocoa to prevent the cake from cracking. Chill well to set the filling.
