How to Make Chocolate Caramel Cream Roll
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
Directions:
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
-
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
-
Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
-
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
-
While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel and dust it with powdered sugar.
-
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and immediately turn it out onto the powdered sugar-dusted towel. Peel off the parchment paper.
-
Roll the cake up in the towel starting from one short end. Let it cool completely in this rolled position.
-
For the filling, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and gently fold in the caramel sauce.
-
Once the cake is cool, unroll it and spread the caramel cream evenly over the surface.
-
Roll the cake back up (without the towel) and place seam side down on a serving platter.
-
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving. Optionally, drizzle extra caramel sauce on top before serving.
