Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream for filling
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Meringue mushrooms optional for decoration

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan (15x10 inches) with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs until frothy; mix in milk and vanilla.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently without overmixing.
  5. Spread batter in the pan and bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Once baked, invert onto a powdered sugar-dusted towel, peel off parchment paper, roll tightly in the towel, and cool completely.
  7. Unroll the cooled cake and spread whipped cream over the surface; roll back up without tearing.
  8. Frost with more whipped cream, dust with powdered sugar, and decorate with meringue mushrooms if desired.
