Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup German chocolate frosting
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla until thick and pale. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold until combined.
- Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched.
- Dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar. Invert the warm cake onto the towel and carefully peel off the parchment paper.
- Starting from the short end, roll the cake and towel together. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a bowl, mix coconut, pecans, German chocolate frosting, and heavy cream until well combined.
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread the coconut-pecan filling evenly over the surface. Roll the cake back up without the towel.
- Chill for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
