Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Separate the egg yolks from the whites and beat the yolks with the sugar until they double in volume and have a pale color.
Sift the cocoa and add it to the mixture, beat again and set aside.
Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form and gently fold them into the chocolate mixture.
Place a baking tray with parchment paper and pour the chocolate mixture. Bake at 180°C for 20 minutes.
For the chocolate sauce, add the dark chocolate to the butter and mix until the chocolate is integrated. Incorporate the brown sugar and vanilla, mix and refrigerate for an hour.
Whip the cream and set aside in the refrigerator.
Sprinkle powdered sugar over parchment paper and flip the cake, remove the parchment paper and spread a light layer of the chocolate sauce; on top of this, spread the whipped cream; roll the cake using the parchment paper and making it as tight as possible.
Spread the remaining chocolate sauce over the roll and, using a fork, create the marks of a log and let it cool in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
