\nPreheat Your Oven<\/strong>: Start by preheating your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Grease a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nMix Dry Ingredients<\/strong>: In a bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set it aside for later.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nWhisk Egg Mixture<\/strong>: In another mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until thick and pale. This can take about 5-7 minutes using an electric mixer. Add vanilla and water, and mix until combined.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n- \n
Combine Ingredients<\/strong>: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined. Be gentle to maintain the airiness of the batter.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Bake the Cake<\/strong>: Pour the batter into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly pressed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Prepare for Rolling<\/strong>: Once baked, invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Remove the parchment paper and roll the cake with the towel from the short end. Let it cool completely.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/span>Making the Filling<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- \n

Roll it Up Again<\/strong>: Starting from the short end, roll the cake back into a log shape, peeling the towel away as you roll. Wrap it in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/span>Making the Frosting<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Beat the Ingredients<\/strong>: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla.
