A delightful and elegant dessert that features a rich chocolate sponge cake rolled with a luscious whipped cream filling, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened 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
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
For the Filling:
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Topping:
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
Directions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
Make the Cake Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale. Stir in the vanilla extract and vegetable oil. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
Roll the Cake: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and immediately sprinkle the powdered sugar over the surface. Place a clean kitchen towel on top and carefully flip the cake onto the towel, peeling off the parchment paper. Starting from one end, gently roll the cake with the towel inside, creating a log shape. Let it cool completely.
Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream filling evenly over the surface. Roll the cake back up without the towel, and place it seam-side down on a serving platter.
Make the Topping: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips, stirring until melted and smooth. Allow the ganache to cool slightly before drizzling it over the rolled cake.
Serve: Slice the chocolate cake roll into pieces and enjoy this decadent dessert that’s sure to impress!
