📋 Ingredients
For the Cake:

¾ cup (95g) all-purpose flour
¼ cup (25g) cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
4 large eggs, separated
¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar (divided: ½ cup for yolks, ¼ cup for whites)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp milk

For the Filling:

1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, chilled
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Topping:

½ cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate, melted
2 tbsp heavy cream

📝 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Cake:

Preheat & Line: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

2️⃣ Whip Egg Whites:

Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add ¼ cup sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

3️⃣ Mix Egg Yolks:

In another bowl, beat the egg yolks with the remaining ½ cup sugar until thick and pale. Mix in the vanilla extract and milk.

4️⃣ Combine & Bake:

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the yolk mixture.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter in three additions to maintain its lightness.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.

5️⃣ Roll the Cake:

Dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar.
Turn the warm cake out onto the towel, peel off the parchment paper, and roll the cake (with the towel) from the short end. Let it cool completely.

6️⃣ Prepare the Filling:

Whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

7️⃣ Assemble the Cake Roll:

Unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream evenly over the surface.
Roll the cake tightly (without the towel) and place it seam-side down on a serving plate.

8️⃣ Decorate:

Mix the melted semi-sweet chocolate with heavy cream to make a glossy ganache.
Drizzle or spread the ganache over the cake roll.

9️⃣ Chill & Serve:

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. Slice and serve chilled for a decadent treat.
