- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup heavy cream (for filling)

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for ganache)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a jelly roll pan (15×10 inches) with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until fluffy; stir in vanilla.
- Sift together cocoa powder, gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt; fold into egg mixture until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 12–15 minutes or until springy.
- Dust a clean towel with powdered sugar, invert the cake onto it, and roll tightly while warm; cool completely.
- Whip cream for filling until soft peaks form; gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa until stiff peaks form.
- Unroll cooled cake, spread the filling evenly, re-roll without the towel, and place seam-side down.
- Heat cream for ganache until hot but not boiling; stir in chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Cool slightly before drizzling over the log.
