Equipment

  • 10x15-inch jelly roll pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Clean kitchen towel
  • Plastic wrap

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • for garnish crushed candy canes

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan, lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale; add vanilla extract.
  • Fold the dry ingredients gently into the egg mixture and ensure a smooth batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly, then bake for 12-15 minutes.
  • Once done, invert the hot cake onto a sugared towel, peel off parchment paper, and roll the cake and towel together from the short end to cool.
  • Whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and peppermint extract until stiff peaks form; spread evenly over the cooled cake.
  • Roll the cake back up, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving; sprinkle crushed candy canes on top.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, swap all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour. Use almond extract instead of peppermint for a nutty twist. When storing leftovers, slice them individually and place in an airtight container for easy snacking. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature for better whipping results. Serve slices on a platter surrounded by fresh mint leaves for an attractive presentation.
