Ingredients
  

For the cake
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Provides structure for the roll.
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder Infuses the roll with rich chocolate flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Helps the cake rise beautifully.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Enhances overall flavors.
  • 4 large eggs Adds richness and moisture.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Balances the bitterness of cocoa.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Brings warmth to the chocolate flavor.
For the filling
  • 1 cup heavy cream Whipped into peaks for filling.
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce Elevates the dessert's indulgence.
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar Sweetens the cream.
  • to taste chocolate shavings For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 15x10-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
  3. In a separate larger bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until thick and pale.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract into the egg mixture.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out with a spatula. Bake for about 12-15 minutes.
  7. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it sit in the pan for a minute. Invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar and roll tightly while warm. Let it cool completely.
Filling
  1. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the caramel sauce and powdered sugar until well combined.
  2. Once the cake has cooled, carefully unroll it and spread the caramel cream evenly across the surface. Roll the cake back up without the towel.
Chilling and Serving
  1. Place the rolled cake seam side down on a serving platter. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing.
  2. Just before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings.

Notes

Chill your mixing bowl before whipping the cream for added volume. Ensure the cake is completely cooled before unrolling to avoid cracking. You can add nuts or fruits for texture and flavor variations.
