Ingredients

Scale

  • 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

  • 1/4 cup milk

  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.

  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

  • In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Add vanilla and milk.

  • Gently fold in dry ingredients until just combined.

  • Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly.

  • Bake 10–12 minutes, until cake springs back to touch.

  • While warm, turn cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off parchment and roll cake with towel. Cool completely.

  • Beat whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.

  • Unroll cooled cake, spread filling evenly, then re-roll.

 

  • Chill before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • Don't overbake to keep the cake soft and pliable.

  • Can be filled with cream cheese frosting or ganache for variations.

  • Wrap tightly and refrigerate up to 3 days.
