Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup 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
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Ganache (Optional):

 

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  • Make the batter: In a bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until fluffy. Mix in vanilla, oil, and milk, then fold in dry ingredients.
  • Bake: Spread batter evenly in the pan and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • Roll the cake: While warm, turn the cake onto a powdered sugar-dusted towel, peel off parchment, and roll it up. Let cool completely.
  • Prepare the filling: Beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  • Assemble: Unroll cake, spread filling, then roll it back up. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Optional ganache: Heat heavy cream, pour over chopped chocolate, stir until smooth, and drizzle over cake roll.

 

  • Serve: Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use a clean towel dusted with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
  • Refrigerate before slicing for cleaner cuts.

 

  • Can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
