Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) sugar
- 1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup (30 g) cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- 2 tbsps powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup (45 g) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring smooth surface coverage.
- Vigorously whisk eggs and sugar until the mixture transforms into a light, airy texture with pale coloration. Incorporate vanilla extract, then gently sift flour and cocoa powder into the mixture, folding carefully to maintain volume.
- Distribute the batter uniformly across the prepared baking sheet, creating an even layer approximately 1/4 inch thick. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cake surface springs back when lightly touched.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, carefully transfer the cake while still warm, keeping the parchment paper attached. Gently roll the cake with the parchment, creating a cylindrical shape, and allow to cool completely at room temperature.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Carefully unroll the cooled cake, spread the cream filling evenly across the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Reroll the cake, this time without the parchment, ensuring a tight and smooth exterior. Refrigerate for 1 hour to set the cream and stabilize the roll’s shape.
- Melt chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate elegantly over the chilled Swiss roll, creating decorative patterns.
Notes
- Prevent cake cracking by rolling the cake while it’s still warm, keeping it flexible and preventing breaks.
- Ensure even whipping by using cold heavy cream straight from the refrigerator for maximum volume and stability.
- Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation and smoother batter texture, helping the cake rise evenly.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend, maintaining the cake’s delicate structure.
