Chocolate Caramel Cream Roll Recipe

Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 3 large eggs, separated
• 80g granulated sugar (divided into 2 portions of 40g)
• 1 tablespoon (15ml) strong brewed coffee or 1 teaspoon espresso powder
• 45g unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 47g all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons natural unsweetened cocoa powder (plus 2 tablespoons for rolling)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Salted Caramel Cream:

• 250ml whipping cream
• 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks with 40g sugar until light and fluffy. Add the coffee, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg yolk mixture, stirring until smooth.
4. In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 40g sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
5. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate batter until fully combined.

Step 2: Bake the Cake

1. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly.
2. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the cake is set but still soft.
3. While the cake is still warm, dust a clean kitchen towel with cocoa powder. Carefully flip the cake onto the towel, peel off the parchment paper, and roll it gently with the towel. Let it cool completely.

Step 3: Prepare the Salted Caramel Cream

1. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
2. Gently fold in the salted caramel sauce until well combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Roll

1. Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the salted caramel cream evenly over the surface.
2. Gently roll the cake back up, using the towel to help keep it tight.
3. Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
