Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk eggs and sugar in a bowl until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

Sift in flour and cocoa powder, gently fold until combined.

Melt butter and mix in vanilla extract, then fold into the batter.

Spread the batter evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cake springs back when touched.

Remove from oven and let cool slightly before inverting onto a clean towel.

Peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake with the towel, let cool completely.

Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Unroll the cooled cake and spread chestnut puree evenly on top.

Spread whipped cream over the chestnut puree.

Roll the cake back up carefully, seam side down.

Melt dark chocolate and drizzle over the rolled cake.

Decorate with marron glacé and orange zest before serving.
