Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
Leavening and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish:
- Chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a jelly roll pan with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage.
- Vigorously whisk eggs and sugar until they transform into a light, airy mixture, creating a pale and voluminous texture.
- Carefully sift flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder into the egg mixture, folding gently to maintain the delicate airiness without deflating the batter.
- Distribute the batter uniformly across the prepared pan, creating an even layer that will bake into a thin, flexible sponge.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cake springs back when lightly touched and edges begin to pull away from the pan.
- Immediately transfer the hot sponge onto a kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar, then gently roll the cake with the towel to prevent cracking and help it maintain its shape while cooling.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form that hold their shape perfectly.
- Once completely cooled, carefully unroll the sponge and spread a generous layer of caramel sauce across the surface.
- Distribute the whipped cream evenly over the caramel, ensuring complete coverage.
- Delicately roll the sponge back into its original cylindrical shape, sealing in the creamy filling.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the roll to set and flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, garnish with elegant chocolate shavings for a finishing touch of decadence.
Notes
- Ensure eggs are at room temperature for maximum volume when whisking, creating a lighter, fluffier sponge cake texture.
- Carefully fold dry ingredients to maintain air bubbles, preventing a dense and tough cake roll.
- Roll the warm cake with a towel immediately after baking to prevent cracking and help shape the roll easily.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend, keeping the same measurement.
