Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium-sized bowl.
- Beat the eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light, fluffy, and pale, about 3-5 minutes.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and vegetable oil into the egg and sugar mixture until fully incorporated.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, ensuring no lumps while maintaining airiness.
- Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for approximately 12 minutes until the cake springs back lightly when touched.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn it out onto a kitchen towel sprinkled with powdered sugar.
- In a saucepan over low heat, combine evaporated milk, brown sugar, butter, and vanilla extract, stirring for 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the coconut flakes and chopped pecans into the filling mixture until blended.
- Spread the filling over the unrolled cake and roll it back up tightly, starting from one end.
- Wrap the rolled cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes
To achieve a light and fluffy cake roll, ensure to whip the eggs and sugar until pale and airy. Dust the kitchen towel with powdered sugar to avoid sticking.
