Ingredients
Scale
Cake:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- powdered sugar for dusting
Filling and Topping:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for filling)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
- chocolate ganache or melted chocolate for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- Prepare the Cake Batter: Beat eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale. Add vanilla extract. Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold dry ingredients into the egg mixture.
- Bake the Cake: Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 10–12 minutes. Remove from oven, dust a kitchen towel with powdered sugar, invert cake onto towel, remove parchment paper, and roll cake with towel. Let cool.
- Prepare the Filling: Whip cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the Swiss Roll: Unroll cooled cake, spread whipped cream over it, re-roll without towel, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Optional Topping: Drizzle with chocolate ganache before serving.
Notes
- To keep the cake moist, avoid overbaking. For added flavor, consider folding chopped chocolate or fruit into the whipped cream filling.
