Method:

First separate eggs and in one bowl beat egg whites until peaks form. While beating add half of the sugar.

In a separate bowl beat egg yolks and rest of the sugar until thick and creamy.

Then add vanilla.

After that mix and sieve flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Incorporate this flour mixture into yolks mixture. Fold prepared egg whites with this.

Pour the batter into a baking tray (12” x 16”) and spread evenly. It needs to bake the cake around 10-12mins under 180C in a pre-heated oven.

Get a separate baking sheet and dust some powdered sugar on it. Keep the baked cake on this sheet and remove the baking sheet that you baked with.

Then roll the cake with the baking sheet while it is hot and keep around 01 hour until cake cools down.

To make the frosting, beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form. While beating add sugar.

When the cake cools down completely, unroll the cake and spread whipped cream evenly.

Again, roll the cake and keep it in the fridge around 2-3 hours to set.

To make chocolate shards, in a small bowl melt chocolate. Get a parchment paper and pour melted chocolate on it. Spread it into a thin layer.

Now roll this with the parchment paper and keep it in the fridge around 30-40mins. Once it is set unroll the paper to break chocolate into shards.

After that stick these shards on the cake by using some melted chocolate and keep the cake again in the fridge around 30mins.

Decorate the cake by dusting some icing sugar.
