Description
A delicious chocolate Swiss roll filled with creamy vanilla filling and coated in smooth chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- 3 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 3 Tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened (optional)
- 10 oz semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
- Beat eggs and granulated sugar on high for 4–5 minutes until thick and pale. Beat in vanilla.
- Mix in milk and oil until combined.
- Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt over the batter. Gently fold just until no dry streaks remain.
- Spread batter evenly in the pan. Bake 10–12 minutes, until the cake springs back when lightly pressed.
- Immediately loosen edges, flip cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with cocoa powder. Peel off parchment. Roll the cake up with the towel inside from the short end. Cool completely, seam-side down.
- Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Whip to medium-stiff peaks.
- Carefully unroll cooled cake. Spread filling evenly, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Re-roll tightly without the towel. Chill 30–60 minutes.
- Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in 20–30 second bursts, stirring until smooth. Pour/spread chocolate over the chilled roll. Chill until set.
- Use a sharp knife to slice into thick spiral pieces.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for better volume when beating.
- Roll the cake while warm to prevent cracking.
- Chilling before slicing helps clean cuts.
