Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and line a 10×15-inch baking sheet with parchment paper, allowing a slight overhang for easy removal.
- Dry Ingredients: Whisk cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until completely smooth and lump-free, creating a uniform dry mixture.
- Egg Mixture: Whip eggs and sugar using an electric mixer at high speed for 3-4 minutes, transforming the blend into a voluminous, pale, and airy consistency.
- Liquid Integration: Blend vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and milk into the egg mixture, ensuring complete incorporation and a homogeneous texture.
- Batter Formation: Delicately fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture using sweeping motions, preserving the air bubbles and creating a silky, consistent batter.
- Baking Process: Spread the batter evenly across the prepared pan, creating a thin, uniform layer, and bake for 12 minutes until the cake becomes springy and develops a golden edge.
Notes
- Prevent Cake Cracking: Roll the cake while it’s still warm to avoid cracking and ensure a smooth, flexible texture for easier rolling.
- Moisture Control: Use a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar when rolling to prevent sticking and maintain the cake’s delicate structure.
- Temperature Precision: Allow the cake to cool completely before adding fillings to prevent melting and maintain the integrity of the cookie dough layer.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and add xanthan gum to maintain the cake’s structure and texture.
