Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cake:
    • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 4 large eggs
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1/3 cup milk
  • For the Peppermint Cream Filling:
    • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
    • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
    • 1/3 cup crushed peppermint candies
  • For the Ganache Topping:
    • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • 1/2 cup heavy cream
    • Extra crushed peppermint for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale.
  2. Pour batter into a parchment-lined jelly roll pan. Bake for 10–12 minutes. Immediately roll it up in the parchment while warm.
  3. Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add peppermint extract. Whip cream to stiff peaks and fold it in with crushed candy canes.
  4. Unroll cooled cake, spread the peppermint filling evenly, then roll it back up tightly. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  5. Heat cream and pour over chocolate chips. Stir until smooth and glossy. Pour ganache over cake roll and sprinkle crushed peppermint on top.

Notes

  • Roll the cake while warm to prevent cracking.
  • Chill before adding ganache for easier handling.
  • Use fresh peppermint extract for the best flavor.
