Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Sponge Cake

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and grease lightly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Beat Eggs: In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  4. Combine: Gradually add the milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture. Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.

Step 2: Roll the Cake

  1. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. While still warm, carefully invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel sprinkled with powdered sugar.
  2. Roll the Cake: Roll the cake up tightly with the towel, starting from the short end. Allow it to cool completely while rolled.

Step 3: Make the Caramel Cream Filling

  1. Whip Cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
  2. Add Caramel: Gently fold in the caramel sauce until combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Roll

  1. Unroll the Cake: Once the cake is completely cool, gently unroll it from the towel.
  2. Spread Filling: Spread the caramel cream filling evenly over the cake, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Roll Again: Carefully roll the cake back up without the towel, and place it seam-side down on a serving platter.

Step 5: Make the Chocolate Ganache (optional)

  1. Heat Cream: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer.
  2. Add Chocolate: Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips and butter. Stir until smooth and glossy.

Step 6: Finish the Dessert

  1. Drizzle Ganache: Pour the chocolate ganache over the rolled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
  2. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set the ganache before slicing.

Conclusion

The Chocolate Caramel Cream Roll is a delightful dessert that perfectly combines rich chocolate and sweet caramel flavors. With its beautiful presentation and indulgent taste, it’s an excellent choice for any celebration or a special treat at home.
