Chocolate Swiss roll

I had the pleasure of baking for a colleague this past weekend. He just gave me the money and asked me to surprise him. Love it!

I decided to make a Swiss roll with a twist.

RECIPE

You’ll need the following:

·         100g flour

·         3 tbsp cocoa

·         100g castor sugar

·         3 eggs

·         ¼ tsp salt

·         250 ml whipping cream

·         100 ml caramel

·         +- 15 chocolate balls 

·         2 tbsp icing sugar

Method

·         Sift dry ingredients in a mixing bowl

·         Separate eggs and beat egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff

·         Gently fold egg yolks into egg whites

·         Gently fold dry ingredients into the eggs

·         Pour batter into a lined and greased baking tray, ensuring that the mix is evenly spread

·         Bake for 10 minutes at 200  ̊C

·         Once baked, place cake on clean kitchen towel, remove the baking sheet and allow to cool

·         Spread caramel evenly on the cake

·         Whip the cream and icing sugar together and spread evenly on the cake

·         Chop chocolate balls in half (as evenly as you can get them) and place on the cream spread

·         Roll the cake up carefully, slice and enjoy
