Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup dark cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons strawberry extract
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup fresh blackberries (cut in half, if needed)
- 3/4 cup diced fresh strawberries
- Extra berries for decoration
- 1/4 cup chocolate curls
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan with baking spray and line it with parchment paper.
- Beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl for 5 minutes until thick and pale.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients and milk into the egg mixture, alternating between the two. Mix until just combined.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 12 minutes.
- After baking, cool the cake in the pan for 2 minutes before transferring it onto a cooling rack using the parchment paper.
- Peel off the bottom parchment paper from the cake slowly.
- Place a clean sheet of parchment paper on top and roll the cake starting from the short side, keeping the parchment inside. Let the cake cool completely while rolled.
- Chill a metal bowl and wire whisk attachment in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and strawberry extract until stiff peaks form.
- Divide the whipped cream in half. Gently stir the berries into one half.
- Unroll the cooled cake, removing the parchment paper. Spread the berry-filled whipped cream evenly across the cake.
- Roll the cake back up slowly and place it seam-side down on a serving plate.
- Cover the cake with the reserved plain whipped cream and decorate the top with extra berries and chocolate curls for a beautiful finishing touch.
Notes
Make sure to roll the cake while it’s still warm to hold its shape better. You can substitute the berries for those you prefer and make it gluten-free by using gluten-free flour.
