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


Instructions

1️⃣
Make the Cake:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar on high speed for 5 minutes until thick and pale. Add vanilla extract and oil, mixing gently.

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until fully combined.

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly touched.

While the cake is still hot, sprinkle powdered sugar onto a clean kitchen towel. Turn the cake out onto the towel, peel off the parchment paper, and roll the cake (with the towel) starting from the short end. Let cool completely.

2️⃣
Prepare the Filling:
In a large bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

Gently unroll the cooled cake, spread the whipped cream evenly over the surface, and roll the cake back up without the towel. Place seam-side down on a serving platter.

3️⃣
Make the Chocolate Topping:
Heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth.

Pour the ganache over the cake roll, spreading evenly with a spatula.

4️⃣
Serve:
Chill the cake roll for at least 1 hour to set.

Slice and serve garnished with powdered sugar, fresh berries, or chocolate shavings for a stunning presentation.


Tips:

Perfect Roll: Roll the cake while warm to prevent cracking.

Decorate: Add crushed nuts or drizzle white chocolate over the ganache for an extra flair.

Make Ahead: Prepare a day in advance and refrigerate—it tastes even better as the flavors meld!
