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
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
