Ingredients

• For the Cake:
• 4 large eggs
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• For the Filling:
• ½ cup heavy cream
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

Preparation Method

Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cake from sticking. Lightly grease the paper for extra security.

Prepare the Cake Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture becomes pale, fluffy, and slightly thickened—this takes about 5-7 minutes.

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into the egg mixture. Fold everything gently using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be light and airy.

Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. Avoid overbaking, as it can make the cake dry and difficult to roll.

Whip the Cream:
While the cake is baking, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. Set it aside in the refrigerator to keep it firm.

Roll the Cake:
Once the cake is baked, carefully flip it onto a clean kitchen towel sprinkled lightly with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment paper. While the cake is still warm, roll it up gently using the towel, starting from one of the short edges. This step helps the cake keep its rolled shape later. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes.

Fill and Assemble:
Unroll the slightly cooled cake and spread the whipped cream evenly across its surface. If you’re feeling extra indulgent, sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the cream. Roll the cake back up (without the towel) as tightly as possible without tearing it.

Chill and Serve:
Wrap the rolled cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set the shape and flavors. Once chilled, slice it into beautiful swirled pieces and serve.

Tips and Conclusion

For an extra touch, dust the Swiss roll with cocoa powder or powdered sugar before serving. You can also drizzle it with melted chocolate or top it with fresh berries for a pop of color and flavor. This roll can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days—if it lasts that long!
