Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Electric mixer
- Parchment paper
- Jelly roll pan
- Kitchen towel
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- For the Chocolate Cake:
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk
- For the Filling:
- 1 ½ to 2 cups softened ice cream any flavor – vanilla, chocolate, or cookies & cream
- For the Chocolate Ganache Optional:
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream
- For Garnish:
- Whipped cream for topping
- Chocolate syrup or sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, then mix in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
- Sift in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, gently folding them into the egg mixture until just combined to maintain a light and airy texture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly to ensure a uniform thickness, and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cake is lightly golden and springs back when touched.
- While the cake is still warm, carefully invert it onto a kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar, and gently peel off the parchment paper to avoid tearing the cake.
- Once the cake has cooled slightly, spread a layer of your chosen ice cream flavor evenly over the surface. Use the towel to guide you as you carefully roll the cake from one end to the other, creating a spiral.
- Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm before serving.
