Mocha Roulade
- 1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder, sifted, plus more for dusting
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- 6 large eggs, separated, room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar
- Mocha Mousse (page 393)
- Preheat the oven to 325F.
- Line a 17-by-12-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- Dust a large, clean kitchen towel with cocoa; set aside.
- Into a medium bowl, sift together the cocoa and flour.
- In a small bowl, stir together the espresso powder and the hot water until dissolved; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg yolks on high speed until thick and pale (they should hold a ribbon-like trail on the surface when the whisk is raised), about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a large bowl; set aside.
- With a clean bowl and whisk attachment, whip the egg whites on low speed until foamy.
- Raise speed to medium-high, and add the sugar in a slow, steady stream, beating until stiff peaks form.
- With a rubber spatula, fold a third of the egg-white mixture into the egg-yolk mixture to lighten.
- Gently fold in remaining egg whites until just combined.
- Fold in the espresso mixture, then gradually fold in the cocoa mixture until just combined.
- Do not overmix.
- Pour batter onto prepared sheet; using an offset spatula, spread evenly and smooth the top.
- Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until the cake springs back when lightly touched, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Immediately invert cake onto prepared towel; carefully lift off pan and peel off parchment paper.
- Starting on a long side, roll towel and cake into a log, incorporating the towel as you go.
- Transfer cake (still in towel), seam side down, to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Unroll cake, leaving it on the kitchen towel.
- Using an offset spatula, spread Mocha Mousse evenly over the cake.
- Gently roll cake again into a log (do not incorporate towel).
- Wrap with the towel; refrigerate on a baking sheet until filling is well chilled, for at least 2 hours or up to 1 day.
- When ready to serve, generously dust roulade with cocoa; slice with a serrated knife.
