Chocolate Cake Roll (Swiss Roll)
Description
The Chocolate Cake Roll recipe begins with combining cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt, then creaming butter and sugar before adding eggs and folding in the dry ingredients. The thin batter is poured onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and baked briefly at a high temperature to set the cake.
After baking, the cake is rolled up in the parchment paper while warm to form the classic spiral shape once cooled. Unrolling gently, the cake is spread with a generous layer of whipped cream, re-rolled, and trimmed for neat edges. The result is a light chocolate sponge enclosing a fluffy, creamy filling, balancing rich cocoa with smooth creaminess.
This Swiss Roll can be served sliced and works well for gatherings as a visually appealing dessert. The rolling technique helps maintain moisture and prevents cracking by shaping the cake before cooling completely.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 4 large egg
- 3 cups Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line your 15x12 baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and salt and set it aside.
- In your stand mixer cream together the sugar and butter until lightened in color, about a minute then add in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated before adding in the flour until just mixed in.
- Pour the mixture onto your parchment paper and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cake is done to the touch (your finger doesn't leave an indentation) then remove from the oven and while it is still warm roll the parchment paper into a roll and let cool in the roll shape.
- Unroll carefully and spread the whipped cream over the cake then re-roll, trim the edges (this is the chef's reward ;) ), and serve.
