Chocolate-Peppermint Roll

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a shallow 11×5-inch baking pan with greased waxed paper.

Step 2
Beat egg whites using an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add 1/2 cup white sugar and beat until combined.

Step 3
Beat egg yolks and salt together using an electric mixer in a separate bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup sugar and beat until combined. Fold in egg white mixture. Fold in flour and cocoa powder. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.

Step 5
Remove from the oven and turn cake onto a towel sprinkled heavily with powdered sugar. Remove waxed paper from cake and form into a roll. Let stand for about 4 minutes.

Step 6
Unroll cake and spread evenly with peppermint ice cream. Re-roll and freeze until ready to serve.
