Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

cooking spray
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup cocoa powder, or more as needed
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
3 eggs
¼ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ½ tablespoons melted butter
¾ cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella®)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray a jelly roll or sheet pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
  • Sift flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda together in a medium bowl.
  • Beat eggs and sugar in another bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until tripled in volume, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat in dry ingredients on low speed in thirds, alternating with melted butter, until just combined. Pour into the prepared pan (the thickness should be less than 1/4 inch).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 8 to 9 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  • Flip cake upside-down out of the pan onto a new sheet of parchment paper. Remove the used parchment paper from the top of the cake gently. Roll cake, starting at one end of the paper, into a tube until it is completely rolled into the parchment. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Whip cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Mix in chocolate-hazelnut spread. Roll out the cake and spread filling evenly. Roll up the cake with the filling, keeping in mind that the cake might crack or tear easily.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

Unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
Vegetable-oil cooking spray
1/4 cup sifted unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder, plus more for pan
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sifted cake flour (not self-rising), plus more for pan
Pinch of salt
3 large whole eggs plus 2 large egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled completely
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons light rum
1 1/4 cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • Prepare oven and baking sheet: Heat oven to 450 degrees, with rack in bottom half. Coat a 12 1/2-by-17 1/2-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Line with parchment paper; coat with cooking spray. Dust with cocoa powder and tap out excess.
  • Combine dry ingredients: Whisk together cocoa powder, flour, and salt in a bowl.
  • Combine eggs and sugar: Bring about 2 inches of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. In the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer set over (not in) simmering water, whisk eggs, yolks, and granulated sugar until sugar has dissolved and mixture is warm to the touch. Attach bowl to mixer fitted with whisk attachment; beat on medium-high speed for 2 minutes. Raise speed to high; beat until mixture is pale and thick, about 4 minutes more.
  • Add dry ingredients: Sift cocoa mixture over egg mixture; using a large rubber spatula, carefully fold. When almost incorporated, pour melted butter down side of bowl; gently fold to combine.
  • Bake: Using an offset spatula, spread batter evenly into prepared sheet. Bake cake until golden brown and springy to the touch, 6 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, dust a clean kitchen towel with cocoa powder. Run a knife around sides of cake. Invert onto prepared towel, and remove parchment.
  • Roll into log and cool: While the sheet cake is still warm, gently roll, starting from one short side, into a log, incorporating the kitchen towel. Let the cake cool completely, rolled. (This will give the cake a "shape memory," so it will be easier to roll again with filling.)
  • Meanwhile, make rum syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the water and 1/4 cup sugar. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until sugar has dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; add rum, then let cool completely.
  • Fill cake and reroll: Unroll cake. Brush entire surface generously with cooled rum syrup. Whip cream and remaining tablespoon sugar until soft peaks form; spread over cake leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. Roll cake to enclose filling (without towel), starting at a short end. Wrap the towel around rolled cake, securing with clips or clothespins to help retain the shape.
  • Chill and serve: Refrigerate 30 minutes (or up to 3 hours). Dust with cocoa powder, cut into slices with a serrated knife, and serve.

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Desserts

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 ripe bananas
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup granulated sugar
1 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
powdered sugar, for dusting
8 oz packages of cream cheese, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
whipped cream, for decorating
chocolate bar, for decorating

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Make the cake: Place the peeled bananas in a medium bowl and use a fork to mash them. Add the eggs, vanilla, and sugar and whisk until the mixture turns pale yellow.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and whisk to combine.
  • Grease a baking sheet well and line with parchment paper.
  • Pour the batter onto the baking sheet and use a spatula to spread evenly.
  • Bake for 12 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and springs back when gently pressed.
  • Cover a large, clean dish towel with powdered sugar (this will help keep the cake from sticking to the towel). While the cake is still warm, carefully flip the baking sheet onto the towel. Lift up the sheet and remove the parchment paper.
  • Starting from a short end, gently roll up the cake with the towel. Let cool for at least 1 hour.
  • Make the filling: Add the cream cheese to a medium bowl and whip with a fork until light and fluffy. Add the sugar, vanilla, and milk. Mix until the filling is silky and smooth.
  • Add the melted chocolate and fold with a spatula to combine.
  • Unroll the banana bread and spread the filling evenly over it. Roll the banana bread back up without the towel, wrap the outside with the towel or plastic wrap, and chill for 4 hours.
  • Remove the roll from the fridge and sift powdered sugar over the top. Top with whipped cream. Run a vegetable peeler across a chocolate bar to sprinkle chocolate curls over the whipped cream.
  • Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Pinch of coarse salt
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
Vegetable-oil cooking spray
1/4 cup sifted Dutch-process cocoa powder, plus more for pan and dusting
1/2 cup sifted cake flour (not self-rising)
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
3 large eggs, plus 2 large egg yolks, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons bourbon, such as Maker's Mark
1 1/2 teaspoons Dutch-process cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Whipped cream: Fill a large bowl with ice water. In a small, heavy pot, stir together granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons water; heat over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Continue to cook, swirling occasionally, until deep golden brown, about 6 minutes. Meanwhile, stir cornstarch into 1/4 cup cream, then stir mixture into remaining 1 1/4 cups cream. Add cream mixture and salt to caramel, whisking constantly (it will bubble up), and bring to a boil. Set pot in bowl of ice water and let cool, whisking occasionally, 30 minutes; then refrigerate until very cold, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • Cake: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 12 1/2-by-17 1/2-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Line with parchment; spray parchment, then dust with cocoa, tapping out excess. Whisk together cocoa, flour, and salt.
  • Combine eggs, yolks, and granulated sugar in a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pot of simmering water. Whisk until sugar is dissolved and mixture is warm to the touch, about 2 minutes. In a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat on medium-high speed 2 minutes. Increase speed to high and beat until mixture is pale and thick, about 4 minutes more.
  • Sift cocoa mixture over top of egg mixture, then fold in. When almost incorporated, pour butter down side of bowl; gently fold to combine, scraping bottom of bowl. Transfer to prepared sheet, using an offset spatula to spread evenly. Bake until center springs back when lightly touched, 6 to 7 minutes. Run a small sharp knife around edges of cake. Invert onto a clean kitchen towel; remove parchment. Immediately, starting at one short side, roll into a log, incorporating towel. Let cool 30 minutes.
  • Syrup: In a small, heavy pot, stir together granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons water; heat over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, 1 minute. Continue to cook, without stirring but swirling occasionally, until syrup turns dark amber, 3 to 4 minutes. Whisk in 1/4 cup water (it will bubble up), bourbon, and cocoa. Whisk until smooth. Let cool about 30 minutes.
  • Whisk confectioners' sugar into chilled cream mixture, then whip to stiff peaks. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours. Whisk again just before filling cake.
  • Unroll cooled cake. Brush surface generously with syrup. Use offset spatula to spread whipped cream over cake, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. Starting at a short end, roll cake to enclose filling (without towel). Wrap towel around cake (for a tight roll, hold closed with binder clips). Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight. Dust with cocoa and serve. (For cleanest slices, use a serrated knife.)

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

PREPARE THE SPRING FORM PAN
1 box little debbie, or hostess swiss rolls
1 springform pan - regular general sized
FILLING
18 oz bittersweet chocolate cut up
1/2 c strong coffee
1/3 c white sugar
6 large eggs, separated
1 1/2 c heavy cream, cold
1/4 c orange liquor, or 1 tsp. orange extract

Steps:

  • 1. In a large HEAT PROOF bowl, put coffee, sugar, coffee and chocolate onto a pot of hot simmering water (about 1 inch of water in pan) Stir these ingrediences until well incorporated. Take off the heat and ket cool for a bit. While cooling take your egg whites and whip them into soft peaks. In another bowl, whip the cream until soft ribbins form. Stir yolks into chocolate mixture well. Using a spatula, softly fold in the egg whites, and the cream, gently folding so it does not become heavy.
  • 2. During this time, unwrap all of those little cakes, and slice them into 1 inch little rolls. Line the sides of the pan with the rolls, and pour the mousse into the pan. Cover and chill for no less than 2 hours. Release from the pan and you have a beautiful yummi mousse cake!!! Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use good quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will make a big difference in the flavor of your Swiss roll. Look for a chocolate that is at least 70% cocoa solids.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before rolling it up: This will help to prevent the cake from cracking.
  • Be patient when rolling up the cake: Don't try to rush it or you may end up with a broken cake.
  • Chill the cake before serving: This will help to set the filling and make the cake easier to slice.
