Description
A soft and chocolatey cake rolled with a creamy filling, finished with a glossy ganache.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon light corn syrup (optional)
- 4 ounces good quality chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly butter a 10 x 15-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer, cream together sugar and butter at medium speed for 30 seconds, then high for 30 seconds. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing for 30 seconds.
- Add dry ingredients to the mixer, mixing on medium-low until combined, then on medium for 30 seconds.
- Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until it springs back when touched.
- After baking, cool for 1 minute, then roll the cake up in a clean towel or parchment. Chill to set.
- Whip 1 cup cream until stiff peaks form and set aside. Whisk cream cheese until smooth, then add powdered sugar and vanilla. Fold in whipped cream.
- Unroll the cooled cake, spread filling, and roll it back without the parchment. Wrap in plastic and chill.
- For ganache, heat 1/2 cup cream and corn syrup until bubbles form. Pour over chopped chocolate, let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Chill until cool.
- Remove the cake from the wrap, place it on a wire rack, and pour ganache over it. Refrigerate to set.
- Slice when set and serve.
Notes
Chill the rolled cake to set the shape before filling. Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter.
