Ingredients

Scale

For the Chocolate Sponge:

  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • ¼ cup (30 g) unsweetened cocoa powder (sifted)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream (cold)
  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • (Optional) 2 tbsp Nutella or melted chocolate for extra flavor

For the Chocolate Buttercream Frosting:

  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 ½ cups (180 g) powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup (30 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2–3 tbsp milk or heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Decoration:

  • Chocolate chunks, truffles, or chocolate bars

Instructions

  1. Bake the Sponge Cake: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 10×15 inch (25×38 cm) jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Beat eggs and sugar until pale, thick, and fluffy (about 5 minutes). Add vanilla. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into egg mixture. Spread batter evenly into pan. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until springy to touch.
  2. Roll the Cake: While still warm, place cake on a clean kitchen towel dusted with cocoa powder. Peel off parchment, then roll cake up (with towel inside) starting from the short side. Let it cool completely, rolled up.
  3. Make the Filling: Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Unroll the cooled sponge, spread whipped cream evenly, then gently roll it back up without the towel.
  4. Make the Frosting: Beat butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar, cocoa, vanilla, and milk until smooth and spreadable.
  5. Assemble & Decorate: Frost the rolled cake with chocolate buttercream. Decorate with chocolate chunks, candy pieces, or shaved chocolate.
  6. Chill & Serve: Refrigerate 1–2 hours before slicing. Serve and enjoy a rich, moist chocolate roll cake! 🍫✨
