Ingredients

Scale

For the chocolate sponge

    • 4 large eggs, room temperature

    • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar

    • 1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour

    • 1/4 cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder

    • 1 tsp baking powder

    • 1/4 tsp salt

– For the caramel pecan filling

    • 3/4 cup (150 g) soft caramel sauce

    • 1 cup (120 g) pecans, chopped

    • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

– For the chocolate glaze

    • 1 cup (180 g) dark chocolate, chopped

    • 3/4 cup (180 ml) heavy cream

– For topping

    • 1/2 cup (60 g) whole pecans

Extra caramel sauce for drizzling


Instructions

I whipped the eggs and sugar until pale, thick, and airy, then gently folded in the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt to keep the batter light. It baked into a soft, flexible sponge that I rolled while warm so it wouldn’t crack later. Once cooled, I unrolled it and spread a generous layer of caramel mixed with chopped pecans and melted butter, then rolled it back tightly into a perfect spiral.

For the glaze, I poured hot cream over chopped chocolate and stirred until smooth and glossy. I placed the roll on a serving plate and slowly poured the glaze over the top, letting it drip naturally. I finished with whole pecans and extra caramel drizzle, then let it set just enough to slice cleanly while staying gooey inside.
