Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold into the egg mixture until smooth.
- Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched.
- Dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar. Invert the warm cake onto the towel and carefully peel off the parchment paper.
- Roll the cake and towel together from the short side. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Unroll the cake and spread German chocolate frosting evenly over the surface. Sprinkle toasted coconut and pecans on top.
- Re-roll the cake without the towel. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
