Ingredients
- 4 large eggs

- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Green food coloring

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan and line with parchment paper.
- Beat eggs and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Fold into the egg mixture.
- Add vanilla extract, mix until smooth, and spread batter evenly in the prepared pan.

- Unroll the cooled cake, spread the green cream, and roll it back up.
