Description

Indulge in the rich and decadent flavors of this cake roll featuring chocolate, gooey caramel, and crunchy pecans topped with luscious chocolate ganache.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
  5. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched. Remove from the oven.
  6. Immediately turn the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake (with the towel) from the short end. Cool completely.
  7. Unroll the cooled cake and spread a generous layer of caramel sauce over the surface. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
  8. Roll the cake back up (without the towel) and place it seam-side down on a serving platter.
  9. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until steaming (do not boil). Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Stir until smooth and glossy.
  10. Pour the chocolate ganache over the cake roll and let it set for 10 minutes. Drizzle additional caramel sauce and garnish with extra pecans.

Notes

Make sure to sift the dry ingredients to avoid lumps for a smooth batter. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
