Ingredients
Scale
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Green food coloring
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until pale and fluffy.
- Add water and peppermint extract to the egg mixture and mix to combine.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until smooth.
- Add a few drops of green food coloring to the batter and mix until the desired color is achieved.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel by sprinkling it with powdered sugar.
- Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and immediately invert it onto the powdered sugar-covered towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
- Starting from one end, gently roll the cake up with the towel inside. Allow it to cool completely.
- Once the cake has cooled, unroll it and spread the whipped cream evenly over the surface. Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips over the whipped cream.
- Carefully roll the cake back up without the towel, and place it seam side down on a serving platter.
- Slice and serve the Mint Chip Cake Roll. Enjoy!
Notes
- Be sure to roll the cake gently to avoid cracking.
- You can use store-bought whipped cream or make your own by whipping heavy cream with a bit of sugar.
- If you prefer a richer filling, you can add a little chocolate ganache or chocolate syrup to the whipped cream.
