Print Recipe

A delightful and easy-to-make chocolate Swiss roll filled with rich cream and chocolate, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (can be swapped with gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1/3 cup Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 4 large Egg Yolks
  • 1 cup Caster Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Melted Butter (unsalted recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 4 large Egg Whites
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Mascarpone Cheese (can be replaced with cream cheese or omitted)
  • 4 oz Dark Chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons Butter (preferably unsalted)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and caster sugar until pale and thick. Mix in the melted butter and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold them into the chocolate batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cake springs back when touched.
  8. Turn the baked cake onto a clean towel dusted with powdered sugar and roll it up tightly while still warm. Let it cool completely.
  9. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold in the powdered sugar and mascarpone cheese.
  10. Once the cake is cool, gently unroll it, spread the cream mixture over the cake, and drizzle with melted dark chocolate.
  11. Carefully reroll the cake without the towel and slice to serve.

Notes

Practice rolling to prevent cracks and ensure a tight roll for the best presentation.
