2 tablespoons heavy cream.
05 -
2/3 cup chocolate chips.
06 -

07 -
4 tablespoons butter, softened.
08 -
1 cup powdered sugar.
09 -
8 ounces cream cheese, softened.
10 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
11 -
2 tablespoons melted butter.
12 -
1/2 cup granulated sugar.
13 -
4 large eggs.
14 -
1/2 teaspoon salt.
15 -
1 teaspoon baking powder.
16 -
1/4 cup cocoa powder.
17 -
1/2 cup all-purpose flour.
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F and line a jelly roll pan with parchment, letting some hang over the edges.
02 -
Mix salt, flour, cocoa, and baking powder in a bowl until everything looks evenly blended.
03 -
Whip sugar and eggs together in a separate bowl until the color lightens, and it thickens up.
04 -
Add melted butter and vanilla to the egg mixture. Stir gently so it stays fluffy.
05 -
Slowly add the dry mix to the wet ingredients. Combine everything, but don’t overdo it.
06 -
Pour the batter into your lined pan, even it out, and bake it for exactly 11 minutes.
07 -
While the cake’s in the oven, sprinkle lots of powdered sugar over a clean kitchen towel.
08 -
Flip the hot cake onto the sugar-dusted towel and peel away the parchment paper carefully.
09 -
While the cake is still warm, roll it up using the towel, starting with one of the shorter sides.
10 -
Let the rolled-up cake rest on the counter until it’s completely cool, which can take 2 hours.
11 -
Using a mixer, blend softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
12 -
Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the filling evenly across the surface, leaving a border at the edges.
13 -
Roll the cake back up tightly, without the towel this time, and cover it with plastic wrap.
14 -
Put the cake in the fridge for at least an hour, so the filling firms up nicely.
15 -
To make the ganache, melt chocolate chips with cream. Stir in powdered sugar and milk until it’s smooth enough to pour.
