Method
Cake Preparation
Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and milk, then gradually fold in the dry ingredients. Finally, mix in the melted butter.
Bake the Cake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased and lined 12x17 inch jelly roll pan. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool and Roll
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Carefully invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Remove the parchment paper and roll the cake up with the towel. Let it cool completely.
