Instructions
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10×15” jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until thick and pale. Gradually add sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Gently fold in the dry ingredients and milk. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes.
Once done, roll the warm cake in parchment paper and let it cool completely.
Filling and Assembly
Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Unroll the cooled cake, spread the whipped cream filling evenly, and re-roll gently.
Chill before slicing and optionally dust with cocoa or powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better incorporation. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
