Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup heavy cream (whipped)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together eggs and granulated sugar until fluffy and pale. Add melted butter and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  3. Sift in flour and cocoa powder, gently folding until no dry spots remain—be careful not to overmix.
  4. Spread batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet; bake for 12-15 minutes or until it springs back when touched lightly.
  5. While cooling, melt white chocolate chips in intervals until smooth. Fold in whipped cream and raspberries once cooled slightly.
  6. Invert the cake onto a powdered sugar-dusted towel; roll tightly with the towel inside to maintain shape while cooling completely.
  7. Once cool, unroll the cake, spread the filling, roll it back up, and frost with any remaining ganache.
