Enjoy your decadent Rich Chocolate Swiss Roll!
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 100g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
- 30g (1/4 cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 60g (1/2 cup) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 250ml (1 cup) heavy cream
- 50g (1/4 cup) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100g (1/2 cup) dark chocolate, chopped
- 100ml (1/2 cup) heavy cream
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet (about 10×15 inch) with parchment paper.
-
In a bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Add vanilla extract and mix.
-
Sift cocoa powder, flour, and salt together. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, ensuring not to deflate the batter.
-
Pour the batter into the tray and spread evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the top springs back when touched.
-
While warm, invert onto a clean towel dusted with cocoa powder. Gently peel away the parchment and roll the sponge with the towel. Cool completely.
-
Beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
-
Unroll the cooled sponge and spread the cream over it, leaving a small border. Reroll the sponge without the towel.
-
Heat the cream until it just begins to boil. Pour over the chopped chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes.
-
Mix until smooth and let it cool slightly until thickened but pourable.
-
Pour the ganache over the cake, spreading evenly. Cool in the refrigerator until set.
Notes
- Roll the cake while it is warm to prevent cracking.
- If your ganache splits, whisk in a small amount of warm milk until it comes together.
- Serve with a dusting of cocoa powder or with fresh mint leaves for freshness.
