Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup flour
  • ¼ cup unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

For Rolling:

  • Unsweetened baking cocoa and powdered sugar

For the Frosting:

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
  • 1 1/2 cups Cool Whip (from a tub, not a can)
  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows

For Topping:

  • Chocolate syrup
  • Mini marshmallows

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a 17x11x1 pan with parchment paper. Spray with cooking oil spray, ensuring to coat the sides as well.
  2. Using an electric mixer, beat eggs on high speed for 5 minutes until thick and light yellow.
  3. Slowly beat in granulated sugar, then lower speed and add water and vanilla extract.
  4. On low speed, slowly add flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Beat until batter is smooth.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 7-8 minutes and perform a toothpick test. Run a spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake.
  6. Generously sprinkle a clean kitchen towel with cocoa and powdered sugar. Turn the cake pan upside down onto the towel. Carefully remove parchment paper and trim off any crusty edges if necessary.
  7. While the cake is still hot, gently roll it with the towel from the narrow end, ensuring not to make it too tight or press too firmly.
  8. Allow the cake to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
  9. While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting: Beat cream cheese with sugar on medium-high speed for about 2 minutes until light and smooth. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and add marshmallow fluff. Beat until combined. On low speed, beat in Cool Whip just until combined. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and add marshmallows. Fold them in with a spatula until fully incorporated.
  10. Carefully unroll the cake. Spread frosting evenly over the cake, leaving about an inch and a half of one of the short ends.
  11. Carefully roll the cake back up, starting with the side that has frosting, and place it seam down on a serving dish.
  12. Drizzle the cake with chocolate syrup and top it off with mini marshmallows.
  13. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve!
