Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (30 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1/3 cup (40 g) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Extra strawberries and mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, beat eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold until just combined. Add vanilla.
- Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until springy to the touch.
- While still warm, invert cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
- Peel off parchment and roll cake up with the towel (starting from the short side). Let cool completely in the rolled shape.
- Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Chill until ready to use.
- Unroll cooled cake gently. Spread an even layer of chocolate whipped cream.
- Arrange halved strawberries evenly across the cream.
- Re-roll the cake tightly, using parchment to guide it.
- Trim edges for a clean look.
- Pipe extra chocolate cream on top, garnish with strawberries and mint.
- Dust lightly with cocoa or powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for better volume.
- Be gentle when folding the dry ingredients to maintain the airiness of the batter.
- Chill the whipped cream filling for better stability.
