2 tablespoons melted butter.
15 -
1 cup powdered sugar.
16 -
1/2 cup all-purpose flour.
17 -
1 teaspoon baking powder.
# Instructions:
01 -
Set the oven temperature to 350°F and line a jelly roll pan with a sheet of parchment paper that hangs over the edges.
02 -
Mix the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder until everything’s even.
03 -
In another bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until it turns thick and light.
04 -
Stir in the melted butter and vanilla gently with the egg mixture until just mixed.
05 -
Gradually fold your dry mix into the wet mixture until fully combined.
06 -
Spread the batter evenly in the lined pan and bake for exactly 11 minutes.
07 -
While your cake is in the oven, sprinkle a clean tea towel with a generous coat of powdered sugar.
08 -
Flip the hot cake out onto the sugared towel, then carefully peel off the parchment paper.
09 -
Right away, roll the cake up along with the towel, starting from one of the smaller sides.
10 -
Let the rolled-up cake cool completely to room temp, which will take about 2 hours.
11 -
Blend the cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla together until it’s smooth and creamy for the filling.
12 -
Unroll the cooled cake with care and spread the filling over the surface while keeping some room around the edges.
13 -
Roll the cake back up snugly, without the towel this time, and wrap it completely in plastic.
14 -
Put the wrapped cake in the fridge for at least an hour to let the filling set.
15 -
To make the ganache, melt the chocolate with cream, then stir in the sugar and milk to get it to a pourable texture.
