Description
A delightful dessert combining layers of chocolate cake with rich caramel and chocolate filling, perfect for special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Cocoa powder (for dusting)
- Caramel drizzle (for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and pale.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold until fully combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.
- While the cake bakes, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it simmers. Remove from heat and stir in the caramel sauce and chocolate chips until smooth.
- Once the cake is done, immediately invert it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully remove the parchment paper. Roll the cake from the short end, with the towel inside. Let it cool completely.
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread the caramel-chocolate filling evenly over the surface. Roll the cake back up, discarding the towel.
- Dust the top of the roll with powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Drizzle with caramel sauce for extra flavor and decoration.
- Chill the roll for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
Notes
Be gentle when rolling the cake to avoid cracks. Ensure your heavy cream is hot enough to melt the chocolate chips completely. Let the cake cool completely before filling to maintain the best texture.
