This sumptuous dessert from Evalyn Pokorny of Hazelhurst, Wisconsin is absolutely divine. Its creamy filling, tender cake and rich chocolate glaze come bundled up in a pretty jelly-roll shape.

Cream-Filled Chocolate Cake Roll Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 10 min. + cooling

Yield: 6 Servings

25 10 35

Ingredients

2 eggs, separated
4 tablespoons sugar, divided
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
FILLING:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1-1/2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons instant chocolate drink mix
GLAZE:
1/4 cup sugar
2-1/4 teaspoons cornstarch
1-1/2 teaspoons baking cocoa
Dash salt
1/4 cup water
1-1/2 teaspoons canola oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a small bowl, beat egg yolks until slightly thickened. Gradually add 2 tablespoons sugar, beating until thick and lemon-colored. Stir in water and vanilla. Combine the flours, cocoa, baking powder and salt; add to yolk mixture and mix well.
In another bowl, beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Fold a fourth of egg whites into the batter, then fold in remaining whites.
Spread into an 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375° for 10-15 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Cool for 5 minutes. Turn cake onto a kitchen towel dusted with confectioners' sugar. Roll up cake in the towel jelly-roll style, starting with a short side. Cool completely on a wire rack.
For filling, in a small bowl, beat cream and confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form. Transfer half of the mixture to a small bowl; fold in drink mix. Unroll cake. Spread chocolate whipped cream widthwise over half of the cake to within 1/2 in. of edges. Repeat with plain whipped cream on remaining half. Roll up carefully. Place seam side down on a serving platter.
For glaze, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, cocoa and salt. Stir in water and oil. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Spread over cake roll. Refrigerate until serving. Yield: 6 servings.

This sounded sooo good .... and it was sooo bad ... my kids wouldn't eat it. They scraped the whipped cream out and ate that. The topping was really weird and the cake texture was awful. sorry. This had promise but no delivery.

The chocolate glaze puts this recipe over the top! The cream filling is not overly sweet like some other recipes. My husband loved this and has asked me to make it again.
