Ingredients

  • 5 eggs room temperature, separated
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large containers Store Bought Chocolate Frosting
  • Confectioners' sugar

Instructions

  • In a mixer bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form; transfer to another bowl and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat egg yolks at high speed until light and fluffy. Slowly add sugar until mixture is thick and light-colored. Add flour and cocoa powder, beating on low speed. Fold into egg white mixture until no streaks of white remain.
  • Grease a large baking pan; line with parchment paper, and grease and flour paper again. Pour batter evenly in pan. Bake at 350° for 13-15 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly.
  • Let cool, remove cake from baking pan and set aside.
  • Whip the heavy cream and vanilla extra in a mixer until soft peaks form.
  • Spread the whipped cream over cake; roll up, jellyroll style, starting from one short end.
  • Cut off the 2 ends and set aside, these will be used later for decoration
  • Spread frosting over the entire cake. Add the ends to the cake to add height. Frost these additions until covered. Use a fork to create a bark-like effect. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
