Chocolate Roulade with Coffee Cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar, superfine
- 200 grams dark chocolate coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup water hot
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee powder
- 4 large eggs separated
- 1/2 cup sugar, superfine about 110 grams
- 1 teaspoon water hot
- 300 millilitres cream thickened
- 2 tablespoons liqueur coffee-flavoured
- 1 tablespoon icing sugar mixture or vanilla bean dusting sugar
- Preheat the oven to moderate (180/160C fan-forced).
- Grease a 25cm x 30cm Swiss-roll pan; line the base with baking paper.
- Place a piece of baking paper cut the same size as the Swiss-roll pan on a board or bench; sprinkle evenly with caster sugar.
- Combine chocolate, water and half the coffee powder in a large heatproof bowl.
- Stir over a large saucepan of simmering water until the mixture is smooth; remove from the heat.
- Beat the egg yolks and extra caster sugar in a small bowl with an electric mixer until thick and creamy; fold egg mixture into warm chocolate mixture.
- Meanwhile, beat the egg whites in a small bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form; fold the egg whites, in two batches, into the chocolate mixture.
- Spread into prepared pan; bake in a moderate oven for about 10 minutes.
- Turn the cake on to the sugared paper, peeling away the baking paper; use a serrated knife to cut away the crisp edges from all sides.
- Cover the cake with a tea towel; cool.
- Dissolve the remaining coffee powder in the extra water in a small bowl.
- Add the cream, liqueur and icing sugar; beat with electric mixer until firm peaks form.
- Spread cake evenly with the cream mixture.
- Roll cake, from long side, by lifting paper and using it to guide the roll into shape.
- Cover roll; refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
