How to Make Amish Texas Chocolate Roll Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan (approximately 15x10 inches) with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large egg yolks, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and 3 tablespoons hot water until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, beat 6 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in 1 cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Pour batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Immediately after removing from oven, sprinkle the top with powdered sugar. Gently invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
- Starting from the short end, carefully roll the cake up in the towel. Let cool completely.
- Once cooled, unroll the cake, spread your desired filling evenly over the surface, and roll it back up.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
