🛒 Ingredients

For the Chocolate Sponge Cake

  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For the Cream Filling

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Ganache

  • 150g dark chocolate (chopped)
  • ½ cup heavy cream

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Pan

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Line a rectangular baking tray (about 10×15 inches) with parchment paper.

2️⃣ Make the Batter

In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together for 4–5 minutes until pale, thick, and fluffy.

Add vanilla extract and mix.

Sift in:

  • Flour
  • Cocoa powder
  • Baking powder
  • Salt

Gently fold everything together using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the batter.

3️⃣ Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared tray and spread evenly.

Bake for 10–12 minutes (do not overbake—it should stay soft).

4️⃣ Roll While Warm

Place a clean kitchen towel on the counter and dust it lightly with powdered sugar.

Turn the cake out onto the towel, peel off the parchment paper, and roll the cake gently (with the towel inside).

Let it cool completely in this rolled shape.

5️⃣ Prepare the Filling

Whip the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.

6️⃣ Fill and Roll Again

Carefully unroll the cooled cake.

Spread the whipped cream evenly over the surface.

Roll the cake back tightly (without the towel this time).

Chill in the refrigerator for 30–60 minutes to set.

7️⃣ Make the Ganache

Heat the heavy cream until just hot (not boiling), then pour it over the chopped chocolate.

Let sit for 1–2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.

8️⃣ Decorate

Pour the ganache over the chilled Swiss roll and let it drip naturally over the sides.

Allow it to set slightly before slicing.
