• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 4 large eggs
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

👩🍳 Directions
1. Preheat the Oven
Set to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
2. Make the Cake Batter
Whisk dry ingredients (flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt).
In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Stir in vanilla and oil.
Fold in dry ingredients gently until combined.
3. Bake the Cake
Pour batter into the pan and spread evenly. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until it springs back when touched.
4. Roll the Cake
Sprinkle powdered sugar on top. Flip onto a clean towel, peel off parchment, and roll gently into a log. Let cool completely.
5. Make the Whipped Cream Filling
Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
6. Fill & Re-roll
Unroll cooled cake, spread whipped cream evenly, and gently re-roll without the towel. Place seam-side down.
7. Prepare Ganache Topping
Heat cream until simmering, then pour over chocolate chips. Stir until smooth. Cool slightly, then drizzle over cake roll.
8. Serve & Enjoy!
Slice and serve this gorgeous, decadent treat. Perfect with a cup of coffee or as a holiday dessert centerpiece!
