A delightful dessert that combines the richness of chocolate with a light, airy rolled cake and a luscious whipped cream filling, all drizzled with decadent chocolate ganache.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for filling)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- Mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Beat the eggs and sugar together until thick and pale, about 5-7 minutes.
- Combine the vanilla extract and vegetable oil, mixing until just combined.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture carefully until fully combined.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool the cake on a clean kitchen towel sprinkled with powdered sugar, then roll it up to cool completely.
- Make the filling by beating the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Fill the cooled cake with the whipped cream filling, then re-roll it gently.
- Prepare the ganache by heating heavy cream and pouring it over chocolate chips; stir until smooth.
- Finish the cake by pouring the ganache over it, allowing it to drizzle down the sides.
Notes
For best results, chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream. You can try flavor variations such as almond or mint in the filling.
