Gooey Chocolate Caramel Turtle Cake Roll

A decadent chocolate cake roll filled with gooey caramel, pecans, and topped with rich chocolate ganache.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. Beat eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale. Mix in cocoa powder, vanilla, salt, and baking powder. Gently fold in flour.
  3. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes until cake springs back when touched.
  4. Dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar. Invert warm cake onto towel, peel off parchment, and roll cake up in towel. Let cool completely.
  5. Unroll cake, spread caramel sauce evenly over surface, and sprinkle with pecans. Re-roll cake without towel.
  6. Heat heavy cream until steaming, pour over chocolate chips, let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Pour ganache over cake roll. Chill 30 minutes before serving.
