Description
A delightful dessert featuring a light chocolate sponge filled with fresh raspberries and whipped cream, elegantly rolled for a stunning presentation.
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
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- Beat the eggs: In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer until fluffy and pale, about 3–4 minutes.
- Combine the dry ingredients: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in another bowl.
- Fold in the dry ingredients: Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the egg mixture with a rubber spatula.
- Pour the batter: Transfer the batter into your prepared pan, spreading evenly.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when pressed.
- Roll the cake: Remove it from the oven, invert onto a powdered sugar-dusted kitchen towel and roll it up with the towel. Let cool completely.
- Make the filling: Whip the cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form, then gently fold in the raspberries.
- Assemble: Unroll the cooled cake, spread the filling over it, and roll it back up without the towel.
- Chill and garnish: Refrigerate for at least an hour, slice, and garnish with chocolate shavings.
Notes
Feel free to make substitutions like using strawberries instead of raspberries. Make-ahead tips: Prepare the cake a day in advance and assemble it when ready to serve.
