Ingredients
Scale
4 large Eggs, separated (yolks and whites)
1/2 cup Granulated sugar, divided
1/2 cup All-purpose flour, sifted
1/4 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 cups Heavy cream, very cold
1/4 cup Powdered sugar, sifted
2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper
- Separate the egg whites and yolks into different bowls and beat the yolks with 1/4 cup of sugar and vanilla until thick and pale
- Whip egg whites with a pinch of salt, gradually adding the other 1/4 cup of sugar until stiff peaks form
- Fold a third of the egg whites into the yolk mixture, then sift in the flour and cocoa, folding gently to combine, and then fold in the remaining whites
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until springy
- Once baked, invert the cake onto a sugar-dusted towel or parchment and roll it up while warm
- Cool the rolled cake completely while wrapped in the towel
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread the filling, then re-roll it into a heart shape and chill
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving and slice to reveal the heart shape
Notes
Ensure to roll the cake while it is still warm to prevent cracking.
