Scale

- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together.
- In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until blended.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cake springs back when touched.
- Invert the cake onto a towel dusted with cocoa powder and roll it up while still warm. Let cool completely.
- Unroll and spread caramel sauce evenly over the cake. Sprinkle chopped pecans and reroll carefully.
- To make the ganache, heat heavy cream until steaming, then pour over chocolate chips and butter. Stir until smooth.
- Pour ganache over the rolled cake and let set before slicing.
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle extra caramel for serving.
Notes
- Roll the cake while warm to prevent cracks.
- Chill caramel slightly before spreading.
- Toast pecans for a deeper flavor.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes before slicing for clean cuts.
