- Preparation: 100 min
- Cooking: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (93.5 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 20 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 18 g Sugar
- 12 g Flour, cake
- 2 g Cocoa powder
- 20 g Cream, heavy
- 15 g Chocolate, dark
- 5 g Butter, unsalted
- 1.5 g Sugar, powdered
Method
- Whisk the eggs and 15g of the sugar until thick, pale and doubled in volume, about 5-8 minutes, then sift in the flour and cocoa and fold in gently.
- Spread the batter thinly on a lined sheet tray and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 8-10 minutes until just set.
- While warm, roll the sponge up with a tea towel inside to help it hold the curl, and let it cool completely.
- Whip the cream with the remaining sugar to soft peaks, unroll the sponge, spread the cream inside, and roll back up without the towel.
- Melt the chocolate with the butter, cool slightly to a spreadable ganache, and coat the log; drag a fork along the length to look like bark.
- Chill until the ganache sets, dust with the powdered sugar to look like snow, and slice to serve.
- Makes about 10 slices; multiply every ingredient by 10 for the whole log.
