Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
4 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup caramel sauce
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Beat Eggs and Sugar:
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the eggs until thick and pale, about 3-4 minutes. Gradually add the granulated sugar, beating until well combined.
- Incorporate Oil and Dry Ingredients:
- Stir in the vegetable oil. Gradually fold in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Bake the Cake:
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Roll the Cake:
- Immediately turn the cake out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper. Starting from a short side, roll the cake and towel together. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Prepare the Filling:
- Once cooled, gently unroll the cake. Spread a thin layer of caramel sauce over the cake, then sprinkle with chopped pecans and chocolate chips.
- Roll and Chill:
- Re-roll the cake (without the towel) and place it seam-side down on a serving platter. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Serve:
- Dust the top with powdered sugar before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Gooey Chocolate Caramel Turtle Cake Roll!
Notes
Ensure the cake is rolled while warm to prevent cracking.
Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
