Description
A delightful dessert featuring soft chocolate cake and smooth caramel cream, perfect for celebrations or as a sweet treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 80g granulated sugar (2x40g)
- 1 Tablespoon (15ml) strong brewed coffee or 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 45g unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 47g all-purpose flour
- 3 Tablespoons natural unsweetened cocoa powder (plus 2 Tablespoons for rolling)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 250 ml whipping cream
- 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12×10-inch (20×30 cm) baking pan with parchment paper and lightly oil it.
- In a medium bowl, beat egg whites with 40g of sugar until soft peaks form.
- In another bowl, beat egg yolks with remaining sugar and vanilla until pale and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Add melted butter and coffee to the yolk mixture and mix well.
- Gently fold in the egg whites. Spread the batter into the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, beat the whipping cream until beginning to thicken. Add salted caramel sauce and beat until soft peaks form.
- Dust a piece of parchment paper with 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Turn the warm cake onto the dusted parchment and roll it up in the parchment from a short side to cool completely.
- Unroll the cake, spread the caramel cream over it, roll it again (without parchment), and place seam-side down on a plate.
- Optionally, decorate with leftover cream or cocoa powder. Enjoy!
Notes
Ensure egg whites are at room temperature for the best volume. Don’t skip cocoa powder for rolling; this prevents sticking. Be gentle when folding egg whites into the batter.
