Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup All-Purpose Flour
- ¼ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 4 Large Eggs (Separated & Room Temp)
- ½ cup Granulated Sugar (Divided)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

- ¼ cup Powdered Sugar

- ⅓ cup Caramel Sauce (or Dulce de Leche)
- ½ cup Dark Chocolate Chips
- ⅓ cup Heavy Whipping Cream

Instructions
- Preheat your conventional oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan, line with parchment paper, and grease the top.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Beat egg yolks with half the sugar until pale and thick. Add oil and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until foamy, gradually add remaining sugar, and whip until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the dry mixture into the egg yolk mixture, then gently fold in the egg whites.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and tap to release air pockets.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the top springs back when pressed.
- Invert the baked sponge onto a dusted towel and roll it tightly to cool.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Unroll the cooled sponge, spread whipped cream, and drizzle caramel. Re-roll and refrigerate.
- Heat cream for ganache, pour over chocolate and butter, whisk until smooth.
- Glaze the chilled roll with ganache and let set before serving.

For best results, roll the cake while it’s still warm to prevent cracks.
