Ingredients

Units Scale

Cake:

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Filling:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping:

  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Festive sprinkles or crushed peppermint for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. Prepare the cake: Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Beat eggs and sugar until pale and thick. Add vanilla, milk, and dry ingredients. Spread batter in the pan and bake.
  3. Roll the cake: Dust a kitchen towel with powdered sugar, turn out the baked cake onto the towel, roll it up, and let it cool.
  4. Make the filling: Whip cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Unroll the cake, spread the filling, and re-roll.
  5. Prepare the topping: Heat cream, pour over chocolate chips, stir until smooth. Drizzle over the cake roll. Decorate with sprinkles or crushed peppermint. Chill before serving.

Notes

  • The cake can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge.
  • Use peppermint extract in the filling for a holiday twist.
