Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10x15 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, coffee, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
Baking
- Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cooling and Rolling
- Once baked, let your cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, flip it onto a clean kitchen towel (with a sprinkle of powdered sugar to avoid sticking) and gently roll it up, towel included. Let it cool completely.
Cheesecake Filling
- In another bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and brewed coffee until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cake is cool, carefully unroll it and spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cake, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Gently roll the cake back up into a log shape.
Chilling and Glazing
- Wrap the cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- To make the caramel glaze, in a saucepan, combine the sugar over medium heat until melted and turns amber. Stir in the heavy cream, butter, and salt. Let it bubble and stir until smooth.
Serving
- Drizzle caramel over the chilled cake, slice into pieces, and serve!
Notes
Don't fear the cooling time, it's a great moment to relax. Garnish with whipped cream and cocoa for a café vibe. The cake can be made ahead and chilled overnight.
