Decadent Chocolate Roulade Recipe for Dessert Lovers

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for filling)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Make sure to grease the parchment for easier removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and granulated sugar.

    Sifting helps to aerate the mixture for a lighter cake.
  3. Beat Eggs

    In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they are light and frothy.

    Use an electric mixer for best results.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Gently fold the dry ingredients into the beaten eggs until fully incorporated.

    Be careful not to overmix to keep the batter airy.
  5. Bake the Roulade

    Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

    Check for doneness by lightly touching the center; it should spring back.
  6. Prepare Filling

    While the cake cools, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

    Add powdered sugar to taste for sweetness.
  7. Assemble Roulade

    Once the cake has cooled, spread the whipped cream evenly over the top and roll it up tightly.

    Use the parchment paper to help with the rolling process.
  8. Dust and Serve

    Dust the roulade with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.

    Serve chilled for the best flavor.
