Ingredients

Scale

For the Chocolate Sponge Cake:

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

For the Caramel Cream Filling:

  • 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

For the Chocolate Ganache:

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

. Make the Chocolate Sponge Cake:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer on high speed for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture is thick, pale, and tripled in volume. Add vanilla extract and mix briefly.
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined, being careful not to deflate the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly pressed.
  • Dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar. Turn the cake onto the towel and carefully peel off the parchment paper. Starting at a short end, gently roll the cake up in the towel and let it cool completely.

2. Make the Caramel Cream Filling:

  • In a medium bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the caramel sauce and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
  • Unroll the cooled cake and spread the caramel cream evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Re-roll the cake (without the towel) and place it seam-side down on a serving platter. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

3. Make the Chocolate Ganache:

 

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  • Let the ganache cool slightly, then pour it over the cake roll, spreading it evenly. Let the ganache set before slicing.

Notes

  • For extra garnish, drizzle caramel sauce over the ganache or sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To make homemade caramel sauce, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan over medium heat until amber in color. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream.
