Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
-
Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it. -
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. -
Prepare Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together using an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture is thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Mix in the vanilla extract. -
Combine Mixtures:
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. -
Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. -
Roll the Cake:
While the cake is still warm, carefully roll it up in the parchment paper starting from a short edge. Let it cool completely. -
Make the Filling:
In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries. -
Assemble the Swiss Roll:
Unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream mixture over it evenly. Roll the cake back up, peeling away the parchment paper as you go. -
Decorate:
Place the roll seam side down on a serving platter. Pipe whipped cream on top and garnish with fresh blueberries.
Notes
- Ensure that the eggs are at room temperature to achieve better volume when beaten.
- Be gentle when folding in the dry ingredients to maintain the airy texture of the batter.
- Rolling the cake while warm prevents cracking.
- Chill the Swiss roll in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving for cleaner slices.
