Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

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

Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in another bowl.

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.

Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cake springs back when touched.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.

Dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar and invert the cake onto it.

Peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake tightly with the towel from one short end.

Let the rolled cake cool completely for about 30 minutes.

Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Unroll the cooled cake and spread whipped cream evenly over the surface.

Roll the cake back up without the towel and place seam-side down on a serving platter.

Melt chocolate and butter together, then drizzle over the rolled cake.

Slice and serve.
