Chocolate Roulade<br />

Ingredients<br />

5 eggs<br />

200g (7oz) caster sugar<br />

200g (7oz) plain dark chocolate<br />

30ml (2tbsps) hot water<br />

30g (1oz) icing sugar<br />

250ml (10floz) double cream, whipped<br />

chocolate leaves or curls<br />

1. Line a 33x23cm (13x9”) “Swiss roll” tin with baking parchment or greaseproof paper.<br />

2. Separate the eggs. Whisk the egg yolks with the caster sugar until pale, thick and fluffy.<br />

3. Melt the chocolate over a pan of hot water or gently in a microwave at 180 Watts.<br />

4. Stir the chocolate and hot water into the egg yolk mixture.<br />

5. Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then fold into the chocolate mixture. (Be careful not to over<br />

beat the egg whites or they will be difficult to fold in).<br />

6. Pour into prepared tin, tipping to ensure an even distribution.<br />

7. Bake at 160ºC for 20 - 25 minutes until crusty and puffy.<br />

8. Remove from the oven and leave in the tin. Cover with a sheet of baking parchment and a tea<br />

towel and leave to stand for at least 8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.<br />

9. Lay a tea towel onto the work surface and top with baking parchment. Sprinkle with icing<br />

sugar and turn roulade onto the baking parchment. Peel off the paper from the bottom.<br />

10. Trim one long edge about 1cm ( 1/ 2”) to ease rolling. Spread the cream and roll up with the aid<br />

of the paper and the tea towel.<br />

11. Pipe with cream and decorate with chocolate curls.<br />

Note: As an alternative, add fresh raspberries or 85 - 110g (3-4oz) of chopped after dinner mints and<br />

then decorate with whole mints.<br />
