Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 5 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Sponge Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Turn the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
- Roll the cake with the towel from the short end and let it cool completely.
- Prepare the Caramel Filling:
- In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold in the caramel sauce, creating a marbled effect.
- Fill and Roll the Cake:
- Once cooled, unroll the cake gently.
- Spread the caramel filling evenly over the surface.
- Re-roll the cake (without the towel) and place it seam side down on a serving plate.
- Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:
- Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer.
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for a minute.
- Stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Assemble the Swiss Roll:
- Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the rolled cake.
- Allow the ganache to set before slicing.
Notes
- Be sure to roll the cake while it’s still warm to prevent cracking.
- Chill the beaters and bowl for the whipped cream to achieve better volume.
- For a decorative touch, sprinkle cocoa powder or chocolate shavings on top of the ganache.
