Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Eggs
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup Cocoa powder
- 4 oz Dark chocolate
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 cup Heavy cream (for ganache)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk eggs and sugar until fluffy, then fold in flour, baking powder, and vanilla.
- Spread batter evenly, bake for 10–12 minutes, and roll warm sponge in parchment to form shape.
- Unroll and spread a smooth chocolate buttercream or ganache filling, then re-roll tightly.
- Chill to set, then slice rolls and arrange vertically in a circular mold to form the spiral cake.
