Instructions

  • To Make The Chocolate Cake: 

    Heat oven to 350 degrees F.  Lightly coat a 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan with nonstick cooking spray. Then line it with parchment paper leaving an extra 1-inch overhang.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until combined and thickened.
  • Add in the melted butter and vanilla extract, and whisk until just combined.
  • Fold in the flour mixture with a rubber spatula, and stir together until just combined.
  • Spread the batter evenly into prepared pan.  Bake for 11 minutes, or until top of cake springs back when touched.
  • Lay a clean, unscented, lint-free tea towel on a flat surface. Sprinkle with the 2 tablespoons powdered sugar.
  • Gently turn the cake out onto the towel and very carefully remove the parchment paper. While still hot, roll the cake up in the towel (yes, you want the towel to be rolled up inside), from short end to short end. Cool completely to room temperature on a wire rack, while rolled up, about 2 hours.
