Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (for ganache)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional: chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish.
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it to ensure the sponge cake doesn’t stick.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the large eggs until they become thick and pale, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract while continuing to beat.
- Once combined, sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into the egg mixture. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Spread the batter evenly into the lined jelly roll pan, making sure to reach all corners. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Once baked, carefully invert the cake onto the kitchen towel that’s been slightly dusted with powdered sugar. Gently peel away the parchment paper. Starting from one end, roll the cake along with the towel, creating a cylinder shape.
- While the sponge cake cools, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until you achieve a stiff consistency.
- Once the cake is cooled, carefully unroll it from the towel. Spread the whipped cream filling evenly over the surface of the sponge, leaving a small margin at the edges.
- Prepare the ganache by heating the half cup of heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour the heated cream over the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a bowl. Allow it to sit for a few minutes before stirring until smooth and glossy.
Notes
For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
