Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Enjoy!
Step 2
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Step 3
Dust a clean dishtowel with confectioners' sugar. Run a knife around the edge of the pan, and turn the warm cake out onto the towel. Remove and discard parchment paper.
Step 4
Starting at the short edge of the cake, roll the cake up with the towel. Cool for 30 minutes.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 10x15-inch jellyroll pan with parchment paper. Whip cream, 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup cocoa, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a large bowl until thick and stiff. Refrigerate.
Step 6
Use an electric mixer to beat egg yolks with 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl, until pale in color, light, and frothy. Blend in 1/3 cup cocoa, 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla, and salt.
Step 7
Using clean beaters, whip egg whites in a large glass bowl until they form soft peaks. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, and beat until whites form stiff peaks.
Step 8
Immediately fold yolk mixture into whipped egg whites.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven until cake springs back when lightly touched, about 10 to 12 minutes.
Step 10
Unroll cake, and spread filling to within 1 inch of the edge.
Step 11
Roll cake up with filling inside. Place seam-side down onto a serving plate, and refrigerate until serving.
