Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, beat 4 eggs and 1/2 cup sugar with an electric mixer until thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Sift in 1/2 cup flour, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, and 1 tsp baking powder. Fold gently until just combined.
Step 4
Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake until the cake springs back when touched, about 10-12 minutes.
Step 5
While warm, roll the cake with the parchment into a log and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
Step 6
Heat 1 cup heavy cream until steaming, then pour over 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Stir until smooth, then chill for 10 minutes.
Step 7
Unroll the cake, spread the chocolate filling over it, and roll up again. Dust with 2 tbsp red sugar before serving.
