Sorry, but I think the accepted answer is an overkill. All you need to do is this:

public class ElmahHandledErrorLoggerFilter : IExceptionFilter

            ErrorSignal.FromCurrentContext().Raise(context.Exception);
    }
}

and then register it (order is important) in Global.asax.cs:

public static void RegisterGlobalFilters (GlobalFilterCollection filters)
{
    filters.Add(new ElmahHandledErrorLoggerFilter());
    filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute());
}
