Ingredients

Scale

For the Chocolate Sponge Cake

  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder, sifted
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted

For the Chocolate Cream Filling

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate, chopped or chips
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Sponge Batter: Separate the eggs whites and yolks into two bowls. Beat the egg yolks with half the sugar until pale and creamy. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with the remaining sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the sifted cocoa powder and flour into the egg yolk mixture, then carefully fold in the egg whites to create a light and airy batter.
  2. Bake the Sponge: Line a jelly roll pan or a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the batter evenly into the pan and spread it out smoothly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until the cake springs back lightly when touched.
  3. Roll the Warm Cake: Once baked, remove from oven and immediately invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel sprinkled with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment paper, then roll the cake up gently in the towel starting from one short edge. Let it cool completely rolled up to prevent cracking when filled.
  4. Prepare the Chocolate Cream Filling: Heat the heavy cream on the stove or microwave until just simmering. Pour over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes. Stir gently until smooth and glossy. Allow it to cool slightly, then whip in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until creamy and spreadable.
  5. Fill and Roll the Cake: Carefully unroll the cooled sponge and spread the chocolate cream filling evenly over the surface. Re-roll the cake tightly without the towel and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill the roll in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set the filling.
  6. Slice and Serve: Remove the chilled roll from the refrigerator and slice into even pieces using a sharp knife. Serve chilled or at room temperature for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs at room temperature for better aeration in the sponge.
  • Sifting dry ingredients ensures a lighter sponge texture.
  • Cooling the cake rolled in a towel helps prevent cracks when filling.
  • Chilling the roll before slicing makes cleaner cuts and helps the filling set.
  • The cake can be decorated with powdered sugar or cocoa powder dusting before serving.
