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.
Me no like chocolate. Sorry. Not for me. 🤷♂️
But chocolate is the best! What do you like then? 🤔
That’s fair, chocolate is not for everyone. Have you tried other flavor rolls?
YUM! Took it to a potluck and everyone raved about it. Will definitely make again!
This was a disaster! The cake fell apart when I rolled it. Never making this again.
So delicious! My family loved it and it was way easier to make than I thought.
Does anyone know if this would work with almond flour? I can’t eat regular flour.
Took me ages to roll it up, but it was worth it! Gonna make it again this weekend.
I totally get you! It can be tricky to roll up, but the taste makes it all worth it. Enjoy your next one! 😊
Too much cocoa for my taste! I prefer a sweeter roll. Maybe add more sugar next time.
I tried this, but my cake was too dry. I think I baked it a bit too long. Might try again.
This turned out amazing! So fluffy and chocolatey. Family loved it!
Confused by number of eggs?! 4 seems too many? But okay…
I thought 4 eggs was a lot too, but it actually helps the cake stay moist! Trust the recipe!
It was ok, but I think I forgot the baking powder. Can’t believe I messed it up, lol.
Honestly, baking powder is like… super important! You might even find it tastes different. But don’t worry, we all mess up sometimes! Just gives you an excuse to try again! 😂
Don’t be too hard on yourself! Mistakes happen. Next time, just make sure you double-check the ingredients! 😊
