Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup chopped toasted pecans
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and sugar. Add eggs, milk, and melted butter; beat until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan evenly and bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Immediately flip the cake onto a powdered sugar-dusted kitchen towel, peel off the parchment paper, and roll it up from one end while still warm. Let it cool completely.
- For the frosting, combine melted butter, sugar, egg yolks, evaporated milk, coconut flakes, and chopped pecans in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until thickened (about 10 minutes).
- Unroll the cooled cake gently and spread frosting inside before rolling it back up tightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
