Ingredients

4 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 15×10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until thick and pale. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, then gently fold into the egg mixture until just combined.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
Cool and Roll: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar, invert the cake onto the towel, and carefully peel off the parchment paper. Roll the cake up in the towel and let it cool completely.
Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Assemble the Roll: Unroll the cooled cake, spread the whipped cream filling evenly over the surface, and re-roll the cake without the towel. Place seam-side down on a serving platter.
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing. Garnish with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder if desired.
