For the Chocolate Sponge Cake:
- 4 large eggs
- 100 g (½ cup) granulated sugar
- 65 g (½ cup) all-purpose flour
- 25 g (3 tbsp) cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Filling:
- 200 ml (¾ cup) heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 100 g (½ cup) mascarpone or cream cheese (optional, for stability)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzle)
For Decoration:
- Caramel sauce (generous drizzle)
- Chocolate shavings or chopped chocolate chunks
- Cocoa powder (optional for dusting)
- Bake the Chocolate Sponge – Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Beat eggs and sugar until pale, fluffy, and tripled in volume (about 5 minutes). Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into egg mixture. Add milk and vanilla, folding carefully. Spread batter evenly into the pan and bake 10–12 minutes, or until springy to the touch.
- Shape the Roll – While still warm, turn cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with cocoa powder. Peel off parchment paper and roll the cake with the towel inside. Let cool completely in this rolled shape.
- Prepare the Filling – Whip cream, mascarpone, powdered sugar, and caramel sauce until fluffy and thick. Chill until ready to use.
- Assemble – Unroll the cooled sponge cake. Spread caramel cream evenly. Re-roll the cake tightly without the towel. Place seam side down.
- Decorate – Drizzle warm caramel sauce generously over the roll. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings or chunks. Optionally, dust with cocoa powder for extra richness.
Notes
- Chill for at least 1 hour before slicing for neat swirls.
- Best served with coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream! 🍨
