Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a shallow 11x5-inch baking pan with greased waxed paper.

Beat egg whites using an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add 1/2 cup white sugar and beat until combined.

Beat egg yolks and salt together using an electric mixer in a separate bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup sugar and beat until combined. Fold in egg white mixture. Fold in flour and cocoa powder. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Step 5

Remove from the oven and turn cake onto a towel sprinkled heavily with powdered sugar. Remove waxed paper from cake and form into a roll. Let stand for about 4 minutes.

Unroll cake and spread evenly with peppermint ice cream. Re-roll and freeze until ready to serve.
