Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until they’re light and fluffy.
- Stir in the vanilla.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold this mixture into the egg mixture.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it evenly.
Baking
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched.
- As soon as the cake is out of the oven, sprinkle it with powdered sugar and cover it with another piece of parchment paper.
- While it’s still warm, carefully flip the cake over onto a clean kitchen towel, peel off the parchment, and roll it up tightly with the towel from the short side.
Filling and Frosting
- Once cooled, unroll your cake and spread a generous layer of caramel sauce on top, followed by the chopped nuts.
- Roll the cake back up without the towel and place it seam-side down on a serving platter.
- To make the frosting, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Melt chocolate chips and fold them into the whipped cream.
- Spread the frosting over your rolled cake and drizzle some extra caramel over the top.
Serving
- Cut into slices and celebrate your creation!
Notes
Keep an eye on your cake while baking to avoid overbaking. Add a sprinkle of sea salt over the caramel drizzle for a sweet-salty contrast. If the cake cracks while rolling, embrace it—it's going to be covered in frosting anyway!
