Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 15x10 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another large bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar until thickened and light in color, about 5 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg-sugar mixture until just combined.
  5. Spread the chocolate batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 12-15 minutes.
Rolling the Cake
  1. While still warm, invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
  2. Roll the cake tightly with the towel from one short side to the other and let it cool completely.
Preparing the Filling
  1. Whip heavy cream in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form.
  2. Gently fold in caramel sauce and powdered sugar to create the filling.
Assembling the Roll
  1. Unroll the cooled cake and spread the caramel cream evenly across the surface, leaving a small border.
  2. Re-roll the cake carefully without the towel.
Finishing Touches
  1. Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
  2. Garnish with chocolate shavings before serving.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results. When rolling the cake, be gentle to avoid cracks, and experiment with flavors by adding spices like cinnamon.
