Equipment

  • Jelly roll pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • Electric mixer

Ingredients
  

For the Cake

  • 1 cup cake flour avoid using all-purpose flour for best results
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder adds a rich chocolate flavor
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder essential for giving your cake the perfect rise
  • 1 cup granulated sugar sweetens the batter
  • 3 large eggs room temperature for best results
  • ½ cup whole milk can substitute with almond milk for dairy-free option
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted for flavor
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract use pure vanilla for best taste

For the Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened for easy mixing
  • 1 cup powdered sugar sweetens the filling

Instructions
 

Method

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cake flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy. Add melted butter and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and cool the cake in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then turn it out onto a powdered sugar-dusted towel.
  • Beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cooled cake, leaving a small margin.
  • Carefully roll the cake from one short side using the towel to help guide it. Set seam-side down.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before slicing to serve.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
