Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
6 ounces sweet dark chocolate (preferably Baker's German)
3 tablespoons cold water
Cocoa, for dusting
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup or less confectioners' sugar, to taste
1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease a 9 1/2 by 13 1/2 by 3/4-inch pan. Cut waxed paper width of pan plus 5 inches in length. Line the pan so there is at least 2 inches of waxed paper extending over both ends of the pan. Grease the paper.
  • Separate the eggs, and beat the yolks with the sugar, until they are light, creamy and thickened.
  • Break chocolate into pieces and place in medium saucepan with the water. Melt over hot (not boiling) and let cool.
  • Using clean beaters, beat the egg whites until stiff. Stir the chocolate into the yolks and fold in the beaten egg whites. Gently combine. To facilitate this, put a small amount of whites into the yolk and chocolate mixture and then add all this back into the whites.
  • Spread the chocolate mixture evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Shut off the oven and bake 5 minutes more. Practice will tell you if the timing is right.
  • Remove from the oven and cover top with a dishtowel wrung out in cold water. Stretch the cloth tight and tuck under the pan. Cool, and refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Remove the cloth carefully and loosen edges with knife. Dust top heavily and completely with cocoa. Lay 2 pieces of waxed paper longer than the pan side by side overlapping with the top over the bottom. Turn out cake on bottom end of paper and carefully pull off the waxed paper.
  • Whip the cream over a bowl of ice, and add the sugar and vanilla when it begins to thicken. Beat until stiff.
  • Spread the cake with the whipped cream, with less towards the top. Roll the cake from bottom, the long side forward, using the waxed paper to roll it. When rolled, the paper should be all around it so you can mold it with your hands as you finish. Put on a long wooden board to chill for a few hours.
  • When ready to serve, open the paper and cut off along side with the tip of a knife. If there are cracks along the side, dust all over with the cocoa in a shaker or use a small sieve or sifter to distribute it where needed.

This chocolate roll was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The cake was moist and fluffy, and the ganache was rich and creamy. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I was disappointed with this chocolate roll. The cake was dry and crumbly, and the ganache was too thin. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I made this chocolate roll for my wife's birthday, and she loved it! It was so easy to make, and it turned out so beautiful. The ganache was a bit tricky to make, but it was worth it in the end.
