Ingredients
Chocolate Sponge Cake
- 100 gm All-Purpose Flour
- 20 gm Cocoa Powder
- 60 gm Sugar granulated
- 2 Large Eggs
- 80 ml Vegetable Oil
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- ½ tsp Baking Powder
- 2 tbsp Milk
Whipped Cream Filling
- 150 ml Heavy Whipping Cream
Chocolate Ganache
- 100 gm Chocolate dark, finely chopped
- 50 gm Heavy Cream
- 1 tsp Butter unsalted
Instructions
Make the Chocolate Sponge Cake
- Preheat oven to 356°F (180°C). Line an 11x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. Grease the parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy. This incorporates air for a fluffy cake.
- Add the granulated sugar, oil, and vanilla extract to the eggs. Whisk until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- If the batter is too thick, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
Bake and Roll the Cake
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cake springs back lightly when touched. Do not overbake.
- While the cake is still warm, dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar. Invert the cake onto the towel. Gently peel off the parchment paper.
- Dust the top of the cake with more powdered sugar. Starting from a short end, tightly roll the cake up with the towel. This helps the cake maintain its shape. Let the rolled cake cool completely.
Make the Whipped Cream Filling
- In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside.
Make the Chocolate Ganache
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat. Add the chopped chocolate and butter. Let it sit for a minute to melt the chocolate. Then, whisk until smooth and glossy.
Assemble the Swiss Roll
- Carefully unroll the cooled cake. Spread the whipped cream filling evenly over the cake.
- Reroll the cake tightly. Spread the chocolate ganache over the entire surface of the rolled cake.
- Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the ganache to set.
- Slice and serve. Garnish with fresh berries or whipped cream, if desired.

Expert Tips

Storage Instructions
