Chocolate Tangerine Roulade
- 6 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened)
- 5 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh orange zest
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 5 tangerines or 3 navel oranges
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons orange liqueur such as Triple Sec
- Dutch-process cocoa powder for dusting
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Butter a 15- by 10 1/2-inch jelly-roll pan and line with wax paper or parchment paper.
- Butter and flour paper, knocking out excess flour.
- In a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolate, stirring until smooth, and remove double boiler or pan from heat.
- In a bowl with an electric mixer beat yolks, sugar, zest, and salt until thick, pale, and mixture forms a ribbon when beaters are lifted.
- Beat in melted chocolate until just combined.
- In another bowl with cleaned beaters beat whites until they just hold soft peaks.
- Stir one fourth whites into chocolate mixture to lighten and fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly.
- Pour batter into jelly-roll pan, spreading evenly with a spatula, and bake in middle of oven 10 minutes, or until cake is springy to the touch.
- Cool cake in pan, covered with a dampened kitchen towel.
- With a sharp knife cut peel and pith from tangerines or oranges and cut sections free from membranes.
- In a bowl with an electric mixer beat cream with liqueur until it just holds stiff peaks and fold in fruit sections until just combined.
- Put a large sheet of foil (about 20 by 15 inches) on a work surface and lightly dust with cocoa powder.
- Invert cake onto foil and gently peel off paper.
- Spoon cream mixture evenly onto cake.
- Beginning with a short side and using foil as a guide, roll up roulade jelly-roll fashion and transfer to a platter, seam side down.
- Lightly dust roulade with cocoa powder.
- Roulade may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, loosely covered.
