Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Chocolate Swiss Roll filled with whipped cream, perfect for dessert lovers.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper, then grease the parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.
- In a small bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Gently fold this mixture into the batter until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel by dusting it with powdered sugar. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and immediately invert it onto the prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
- Starting from one end, roll the cake up with the towel inside. Allow it to cool completely in this rolled shape, about 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Once the cake is cool, unroll it gently and spread the whipped cream evenly over the surface.
- Roll the cake back up without the towel, seam side down. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing.
Notes
- This recipe serves 8.
- For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with Greek yogurt.
- To add a fruity twist, fold in some fresh berries into the whipped cream before spreading it on the cake.
