Description
A festive dessert combining rich chocolate with bright raspberry flavors, making it a perfect showstopper for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the cake)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raspberry puree (fresh or frozen raspberries blended)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
- Fresh raspberries and mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15 x 10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with granulated sugar using an electric mixer on high speed for about 5 minutes until pale and thick. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture using a rubber spatula.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan, smooth the top, and drop spoonfuls of raspberry puree across the batter. Gently swirl with a knife.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the cake springs back when lightly pressed.
- As soon as the cake is removed from the oven, place a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and sprinkle it with powdered sugar. Invert the cake onto the towel and carefully peel off the parchment paper. Roll the cake from one edge with the towel and let it cool completely.
- While the cake cools, whisk the heavy cream with powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Once the cake has cooled, unroll it gently, spread the whipped cream evenly, and reroll the cake seam-side down on a serving platter. Dust with additional powdered sugar and garnish with raspberries and mint leaves.
Notes
Store leftovers wrapped tightly in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days, or freeze individual slices between parchment paper.
