Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cake springs back when touched.

Filling

  • While the cake is baking, heat the chocolate chips and heavy cream over low heat until smooth. Stir in the sliced almonds.

Assembly

  • Immediately invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar, and carefully peel off the parchment paper.
  • Spread the caramel sauce over the warm cake, then pour the chocolate almond filling on top.
  • Starting from one short end, carefully roll the cake and filling together using the towel to assist. Place seam side down on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, drizzle melted chocolate over the cake roll and sprinkle with additional sliced almonds.
  • Slice and serve.

Notes

Whip the eggs longer for an even fluffier cake. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
