Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
4 large eggs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup heavy cream, cold
1 tsp vanilla extract
Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar until combined.
In another bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
Gently fold the dry mixture into the egg mixture along with melted butter without deflating the batter.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until springy to touch.
Allow the cake to cool on a wire rack while whipping heavy cream with vanilla until stiff peaks form; gradually add powdered sugar.
Once cooled, spread whipped cream over the sponge and carefully roll it up using parchment paper as guidance.
Dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serve.
