Ingredients
Scale
For the Cake Roll:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Caramel Filling:
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat eggs until light and fluffy. Add buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Gradually combine wet and dry ingredients until smooth. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. When the cake is done, immediately invert it onto the towel. Remove the parchment paper and roll the cake with the towel into a log. Let it cool completely.
- For the filling, heat heavy cream in a saucepan until just boiling. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until melted. Fold in caramel sauce. Let the mixture cool slightly.
- Unroll the cooled cake, spread the chocolate caramel filling evenly over it, and then re-roll the cake carefully.
- For the topping, drizzle caramel sauce over the rolled cake, and sprinkle with chopped pecans and mini chocolate chips.
Notes
- Ensure the cake is completely cooled before unrolling to prevent cracking.
- You can use store-bought caramel sauce or homemade, depending on your preference.
