Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting and filling)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs until pale yellow and doubled in volume.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients gently into the whipped eggs until just combined.
  5. Spread the batter evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until it springs back when lightly touched.
  6. Immediately flip the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar and roll it tightly while warm. Let it cool completely.
  7. Whip heavy cream with vanilla extract and powdered sugar until soft peaks form; spread onto the cooled cake before rolling it back up.
  8. Dust generously with powdered sugar and add optional decorations like berries or chocolate shavings.

Keywords: To prevent cracks while rolling, do so when the cake is still warm. Experiment with different fillings like cream cheese frosting or fruit jams for variety. Prepare ahead by wrapping in plastic wrap after cooling to maintain freshness.
