Chocolate swiss roll

Welcome to this delightful recipe guide for making a Chocolate Swiss Roll. This classic dessert features a soft, fluffy sponge cake rolled around a luscious whipped cream filling, all with a rich cocoa flavor. Perfect for special occasions or a sweet treat, this Chocolate Swiss Roll is sure to impress your family and friends.

Ingredients:

3 eggs
150g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
1 tbsp dry cocoa powder
16g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g
1 tbsp powdered sugar
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line your baking tray with parchment paper, making sure the paper extends slightly over the edges for easy removal later.
2. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the 3 eggs using an electric mixer on high speed until they become thick and pale, approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to beat the mixture until it's light and fluffy.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and dry cocoa powder to ensure there are no lumps.
- Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the egg mixture using a spatula until just combined, being careful not to deflate the batter.
4. Bake the Sponge Cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray, spreading it evenly to the edges.
- Bake in the preheated oven for around 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched lightly in the center.
- Remove from the oven and immediately turn the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
5. Roll the Cake:
- Starting from one of the shorter ends, roll the warm cake (including the towel) into a tight spiral.
- Allow it to cool completely while rolled up in the towel. This helps set the shape and makes it easier to re-roll with the filling later.
6. Prepare the Cream Filling:
- While the cake is cooling, whip the heavy whipping cream with the 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar until it forms stiff peaks.
7. Assemble the Swiss Roll:
- Once the cake has cooled, gently unroll it, removing the towel.
- Spread the whipped cream evenly over the entire surface of the cake.
- Roll the cake back up, this time without the towel, positioning the seam on the bottom.
8. Finish and Serve:
- Transfer the rolled cake to a serving platter.
- Optionally, you can dust the top with more powdered sugar or cocoa powder for a decorative finish.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
9. Slice and Enjoy:
- Use a sharp knife to slice the Swiss roll into 1-inch thick pieces.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious homemade Chocolate Swiss Roll!

Tips:

- Ensure your eggs are at room temperature before starting to help them whisk better and increase the volume.

- When folding in the flour and cocoa powder, be gentle to maintain the airiness of the batter.

- Be careful not to overbake the sponge cake, as it should remain flexible for rolling. Overbaking can make it dry and prone to cracking.

- While rolling the cake with the whipped cream, do so gently and use parchment paper to help guide the roll.

- Chill the rolled cake in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to help it set and for clean cuts.

Congratulations! You've successfully made a delicious Chocolate Swiss Roll. Enjoy this decadent dessert with a cup of coffee or tea, and don't forget to share it with your loved ones. This delightful treat is sure to become a favorite in your dessert repertoire.
