Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup chocolate ganache
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate curls
- Additional caramel sauce for drizzling
- A pinch of salt
- Butter (for greasing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and butter it lightly.
- In a bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In another large mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar using an electric mixer on high speed until pale and tripled in volume. Fold in vanilla extract. Gently fold in the sifted dry ingredients until well incorporated. Pour batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. Remove from oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
- While still warm, gently lift the cake using parchment and roll into a tight log, starting from a short side. Let it cool completely while rolled.
- In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream evenly over it. Drizzle caramel sauce over the whipped cream.
- Roll the cake back up tightly without the parchment. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
- Pour chocolate ganache over the top of the cake. Garnish with dollops of whipped cream, chocolate curls, and drizzle of caramel sauce.
- Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- For best results, let the cake cool completely before adding the filling to prevent melting.
- Don’t overbake the cake, as it should remain soft and pliable for easy rolling.
- Use a serrated knife to slice for clean cuts.
- Store in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for freshness.
