directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with waxed paper. Grease and flour lined pan; tap out excess.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg yolks and 1/4 cup sugar until fluffy. In a small bowl, using CLEAN beaters, beat egg whites on high until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, beating until stiff, but not dry, peaks form.
  • Fold 1/3 beaten egg whites into egg yolk mixture. Alternately fold in remaining whites and flour mixture.

  • Starting with a long side, tightly roll up cake WITH CLOTH!
  • Transfer cake, seam-side down, to a wire rack to cool. Unroll cake; remove cloth.
  • Mix whipped topping and chocolate chips together and spread over cake to within 1/2 inch of edges.
  • Re-roll cake; place seam-side down on a plate. Refrigerate.

  1. This was perfect in every way. The directions were clear, the cake was easy to roll and fill, and it tasted great. I sprinkled the towel with confectioner's sugar instead of granulated as another reviewer suggested. I filled the cake with real whipped cream and frosted it with a chocolate buttercream frosting. Everyone enjoyed it tremendously. Thank you.
     
  2. Time consuming, but SO worth it! Definately use the mini choc. chips . Used just regular flour. Made for PAC 09
     
  3. Great recipe even when I cheated by taking shortcuts. (I am sure following the instructions is worth it but I wanted to make this quickly) I separated the eggs and beat the egg whites as per instructions, then beat egg yolks as per instructions. Added all remaining dry ingredients to egg yolks. Then folded in egg whites. For my convection oven, it cooked in 10 minutes. I filled with whipped cream and raspberries.
     
  4. I usually make a different Roll recipe, but it didn't turn out right the last two times I made it, so decided to give this a go. I sure wasn't disappointed. The cake was flavorful and rolled up beautifully. It is also very easy to make. I filled it with Recipe#17245 and it was delicious. The only thing I might do different next time is to sprinkle 10x sugar on the cloth, otherwise it's perfect. Thanks Becca :)
