Flourless Chocolate Roulade
- 200 g dark cooking chocolate, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp instant coffee granules
- 4 None large eggs, separated
- 110 g + 1 tbsp caster sugar
- 300 ml whipping cream
- 2 tbsp coffee liqueur
- 1 tbsp icing sugar
- None None coffee beans, to decorate
- Preheat oven to 180u0b0C/160u0b0C fan/gas 4. Grease a 25 x 30cm Swiss roll tin; line base with baking paper.
- Combine chocolate, half the coffee granules and 60ml hot water in a large heatproof bowl. Stir over large saucepan of simmering water until smooth; remove from heat.
- Beat egg yolks and 110g caster sugar in small bowl with electric mixer until thick and creamy; fold egg mixture into warm chocolate mixture.
- Meanwhile, beat egg whites in small, clean bowl with electric mixer until soft peaks form; fold egg whites, in 2 batches, into chocolate mixture. Spread into prepared tin; bake for 10 mins, or until a skewer comes out clean.
- Place a piece of baking paper cut a little larger than the Swiss roll tin on work surface; sprinkle evenly with 1 tbsp caster sugar. Turn cake on to sugared paper, peel lining paper away; use serrated knife to cut away crisp edges from all sides. Cover cake with tea towel; cool.
- Dissolve remaining coffee granules in 1 tsp hot water in small bowl. Add cream, liqueur and sifted icing sugar; beat with electric mixer until firm peaks form. Spread cake evenly with three-quarters of the cream mixture. Roll cake, from long side, by lifting paper and using it to guide the roll into shape.
- Spoon remaining cream in dollops along top of roll. Decorate with coffee beans. Cover roll; refrigerate for 30 mins before serving.
