Ingredients:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 100g of granulated sugar
  • 75g of all-purpose flour
  • 25g of unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 100g of heavy cream
  • 50g of powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 100g of chocolate ganache (for frosting)

Kitchen Tools Needed:

  • mixing bowl
  • baking tray
  • parchment paper
  • whisk
  • spatula
  • sharp knife

Instructions:

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
  • Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and spread it evenly.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cake is springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • While the cake is baking, prepare the whipped cream by whisking together heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  • Once the cake has baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly on a wire rack.
  • Carefully roll the cake in the parchment paper to form a log shape and let it cool completely.
  • Unroll the cooled cake and spread a layer of whipped cream on top. Re-roll the cake without the parchment paper.
  • Transfer the rolled cake to a serving plate and frost the outside with chocolate ganache.
  • Decorate with any additional decorations, and slice to serve.
