How to Make Choco Swiss Roll Delight
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Filling:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for dusting
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.
- While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel by dusting it with powdered sugar.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and immediately invert it onto the prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
- Starting from one end, roll the cake tightly with the towel and let it cool completely.
- For the filling, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Unroll the cooled cake, spread the whipped cream filling evenly over the surface, and roll it up again without the towel.
- Transfer to a serving platter, dust with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings, slice, and serve.
