Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, beat 4 eggs and 0.75 cup sugar with an electric mixer until pale and thick, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Gently fold in 1 cup flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder until just combined, being careful not to deflate the batter.

  4. 4

    Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake until golden and springy to the touch, 12-15 minutes.

  5. 5

    While warm, spread 0.5 cup caramel sauce over the cake. Roll it up tightly from a short end, using the parchment to help.

  6. 6

    Let the rolled cake cool completely. Just before serving, drizzle with remaining 0.5 cup caramel sauce and 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup.

  7. 7

    Slice and serve. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
