Ingredients


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Whisk Eggs and Sugar: Beat eggs and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Bake the Cake: Spread the batter evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until set.
  7. Roll the Cake: While still warm, roll the cake with the parchment paper and let it cool completely.
  8. Caramel Layer: Unroll the cake, spread caramel sauce over the surface, and sprinkle chopped pecans on top.
  9. Re-roll: Roll the cake back up without parchment paper and place seam-side down.
  10. Make Ganache: Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until it simmers. Pour over chocolate chips, let sit for 2 minutes, and stir until smooth.
  11. Decorate the Cake: Pour ganache over the cake roll and garnish with extra pecan halves.
  12. Set and Serve: Allow the cake to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use store-bought caramel sauce for convenience, or make homemade for a richer flavor.
  • For a twist, add a drizzle of salted caramel on top before serving.
  • To make slicing easier, chill the cake roll for 30 minutes before cutting.
