Ingredients:
– 2 1/4 cups 285g all-purpose flour
– 3/4 cup 85g unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 1/2 cups 180g granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs, at room temperature
– 1/2 cup 115ml whole milk, at room temperature
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup 200g unsalted butter, softened
– 2 cups 400g powdered sugar
– 1/2 cup 120g unsweetened cocoa powder for filling
– Optional: Chocolate shavings or chopped nuts for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375F 190C and line a 10×15-inch 25×38 cm jelly roll pan with parchment paper for easy removal later.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Next, add the whole milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
4. Pour the cake batter evenly into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it out to get an even layer.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. While the cake cools, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
8. Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the cocoa filling evenly over the surface of the cake, reaching all the way to the edges.
9. Starting from one end, gently but tightly roll up the cake along with the filling, creating a spiral. Use the parchment paper to help guide the roll without applying too much pressure.
10. After rolling the cake, wrap it in plastic wrap or parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set.
11. Once chilled, slice the cake roll into pieces and serve garnished with chocolate shavings or chopped nuts if desired.
