Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs, separated
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and thick.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients into the egg yolk mixture, mixing until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into the batter until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top with a spatula. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cake is set but still spongy.
- Remove from the oven and let the cake cool for a few minutes. While the cake is cooling, place a clean kitchen towel on a large flat surface and dust generously with powdered sugar.
- Carefully invert the cake onto the prepared towel and peel off the parchment paper. Roll the cake up tightly with the towel, starting at the shorter end. Let the cake cool completely in the towel, seam side down.
- In a mixing bowl, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Add powdered sugar, butter, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt, and beat until well combined.
- Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the cream mixture evenly over the surface, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Starting at the shorter end, gently roll up the cake tightly, using the towel to help you. Place the cake seam side down on a serving platter.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Spread the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Use a fork to create a bark-like texture on the ganache.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving. Garnish with powdered sugar and fresh berries, if desired.
