Gooey Caramel Pecan Chocolate Roll
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
4 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1 1/2 cups caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1/2 cup chocolate ganache (store-bought or homemade)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
Add the applesauce and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and mix until combined.
Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched lightly.
While the cake is still warm, carefully roll it up in the parchment paper and let it cool completely.
Once cooled, unroll the cake and spread the caramel sauce evenly over the surface. Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top.
Roll the cake back up, without the parchment paper this time, and transfer it to a serving plate.
Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the top and let it set before slicing and serving.
