Time 2h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 eggs, separated
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules or crystals
1 tablespoon warm water
6 oz bittersweet baking chocolate, melted, cooled
2 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa
1 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/4 cup white crème de menthe
Fresh mint sprigs, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F (300°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease 15x10x1-inch pan with butter. Line bottom of pan with waxed paper; grease paper with butter.
  • In large bowl, beat egg yolks with electric mixer on high speed until fluffy. Gradually add 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, beating on high speed about 5 minutes or until thick and lemon colored. In small bowl, stir coffee granules in water until dissolved. Add cooled chocolate and coffee to egg yolk mixture; beat on low speed until blended, scraping bowl occasionally.
  • In another large bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold one-fourth of the egg whites into chocolate batter to lighten. Fold in remaining egg whites. Sift flour over batter; fold in flour until blended. Pour batter into pan. With metal spatula, gently spread batter to edges of pan.
  • Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched in center. Sprinkle top of cake with 3 tablespoons of the cocoa. Cover cake with a slightly damp kitchen towel; cool completely. Turn cake upside down onto kitchen towel; carefully remove waxed paper. Sprinkle cake with remaining 3 tablespoons cocoa.
  • In chilled medium bowl, beat whipping cream with electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Add powdered sugar and crème de menthe; beat until stiff peaks form. Spread over cake. Beginning at one short side, roll up cake, using towel to help roll. Sprinkle with additional cocoa, if desired. Garnish with mint. Store covered in refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use fresh mint: Fresh mint leaves will give your cake roll the best flavor. If you can't find fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cake roll tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake roll until it is just set: The cake roll should be slightly springy to the touch when it is done. If you overbake it, it will be dry and crumbly.
  • Roll the cake roll as soon as it comes out of the oven: This will help prevent it from cracking.
  • Let the cake roll cool completely before you fill it: This will help prevent the filling from melting and making the cake roll soggy.
  • Use a variety of fillings: You can fill your cake roll with anything you like, such as chocolate ganache, whipped cream, or fruit preserves.

Conclusion:

Mint chocolate cake roll is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give this mint chocolate cake roll a try. You won't be disappointed!
