Instructions
- Roll: Separate the eggs. Beat whites with cream of tartar until stiff. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup (125 mL) sugar. Set aside. Sift together remaining 1/2 cup (125 mL) sugar, flour and cocoa powder. Beat yolks until thick. Fold flour mixture into yolks and add vanilla. This will be very stiff. Carefully fold yolk mixture into beaten whites. Preheat oven to 325 F (160 deg.C). Line a 10″ x 15″ (25 x 38 cm) edged cookie sheet with waxed paper, leaving an overlapping edge. Grease and flour paper. Spread batter evenly on paper. Bake for 20 minutes. Place on a rack and cool for 5 minutes. Place a clean tea towel on counter, generously sprinkle with icing sugar and turn cake onto towel. Carefully peel waxed paper off the top. Cut off any dried edges. Roll up cake and towel together, beginning at short end. Cool completely – no more than a half an hour. Unwrap roll and spread whipped cream over surface. Roll up cake again but this time – leave out the towel! Sprinkle with icing sugar. Serve with fudge sauce or foamy butter sauce.
