Chocolate Swiss Roll
A delicious and classic Chocolate Swiss Roll made with a light and airy chocolate sponge, filled with a rich and creamy chocolate filling.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour sifted
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream chilled
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, beat eggs with an electric mixer until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually add 1/2 cup of sugar and vanilla, beating well.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined. Spread evenly in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Immediately invert onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with confectioners’ sugar, remove the parchment, and roll up in the towel. Let cool.
- In another bowl, beat heavy cream with remaining sugar until soft peaks form. Carefully unroll the cake, spread the whipped cream, re-roll the cake without the towel, and refrigerate.

I don’t get why this is called a Swiss roll when it’s a chocolate cake. I was expecting something different. Disappointing.
I messed up the folding part, but it still came out delicious! My family loved it. Next time, I’ll pay more attention.
This recipe is fantastic! The Swiss roll turned out perfectly. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to roll without cracking.
