What a pretty and oh so delicious dessert to make for your holiday dinner. Your guests, especially the ones who are chocolate lover's, will love this special cake roll.

Ingredients:
For The Cake:
1/3 cup cake flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, separated
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
Confectioners' sugar

For The Filling:
1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Instructions:
To Make The Cake:
Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Line a 15 x 10 x 1-inch jelly roll pan with waxed paper. Grease and flour lined pan; tap out excess.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix well. In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer set on a medium speed, beat egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar until fluffy.

In a small bowl, using clean beaters, beat egg whites on high until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, beating until stiff, but not dry, peaks form.

Fold 1/3 beaten egg whites into egg yolk mixture. Alternately fold in remaining whites and flour mixture. Pour batter in pan; smooth top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 15 minutes.

To Roll And Fill The Cake:
Dust a clean tea towel with remaining sugar. Turn cake out onto prepared towel; remove waxed paper. Trim the cake's edges.

Starting with a long side, tightly roll up cake with towel. Transfer
cake, seam-side down, to a wire rack to cool.

Unroll cake; remove towel. Spread whipped topping over cake to within 1/2 inch of edges. Re-roll cake; place seam-side down on a plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Variation:
Mix some mini chocolate morsels into the filling before spreading on the cake for a chocolaty surprise.

Makes 10 servings.
