Chocolate Cake Roll 🧁
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 🍞
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder 🍫
• 1 teaspoon baking powder 🧁
• 1/4 teaspoon salt 🧂
• 4 large eggs 🥚
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar 🍬
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
• Powdered sugar (for dusting)
For the Filling:
• 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream 🥛
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar 🍬
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
For the Ganache Topping (Optional):
• 1/2 cup heavy cream 🥛
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 🍫
Steps:
1. Preheat the Oven:
◦ Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it. 🔥🧑🍳
2. Make the Cake Batter:
◦ In a bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. 🍫🍞
◦ In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes until thick and pale. 🥚🍬
◦ Gently fold in the vanilla extract and dry ingredients until combined.
3. Bake the Cake:
◦ Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. 🧁✨
4. Roll the Cake:
◦ While the cake is warm, carefully invert it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Remove the parchment paper and roll the cake (with the towel) tightly from the short end. Let it cool completely. 🍰🌟
5. Prepare the Filling:
◦ In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. 🥛🍬🌿
6. Fill the Cake Roll:
◦ Unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream filling evenly. Roll it back up (without the towel) and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to set. 🎂❄️
7. Make the Ganache Topping (Optional):
◦ Heat the heavy cream until steaming, then pour over chocolate chips. Stir until smooth. Allow to cool slightly, then pour over the cake roll for a rich finish. 🍫✨
8. Serve and Enjoy:
◦ Slice and serve your chocolate cake roll dusted with powdered sugar or decorated with ganache. Perfect for any occasion! 🍫🎂
A soft, rich chocolate cake filled with creamy goodness—this roll is a guaranteed showstopper! 😋🍫🍰
