Decadent chocolate and coffee log with a luscious creamy filling is irresistible.
Ingredients:
  • Melted butter, to grease
  • 4 eggs
  • 100g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
  • 75g (1/2 cup) plain flour, sifted
  • 15.00 gm cocoa powder
  • 80g dark chocolate, melted, cooled
  • Cocoa powder, extra, to dust
  • Fresh mixed berries, to serve
  • Icing sugar, to dust
  • 2 tsp instant coffee granules
  • 5.00 gm boiling water
  • 24.00 gm icing sugar mixture
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 25 x 30cm Swiss roll pan with melted butter, then line the base and two long sides with overhanging non-stick baking paper.
  • Whisk eggs using an electric beater until thick and creamy, about 2 minutes. Slowly incorporate sugar until dissolved. Gently fold in flour and 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, then fold in chocolate. Transfer mixture to prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until top springs back when touched lightly.
  • Lay a sheet of non-stick baking paper on a clean tea towel and sprinkle with the rest of the cocoa powder.
  • Invert the warm cake onto parchment paper. Gently peel off the top layer of paper. Roll the cake tightly from the long side nearest to you, using the paper to assist. Transfer the rolled cake onto a wire rack, ensuring the seam is facing downwards, and let it cool completely.
  • In a small bowl, combine the coffee and water until the coffee dissolves. Using an electric beater, whisk the coffee mixture, cream, and icing sugar until firm peaks form. Set aside 1/2 cup of the filling.
  • Gently unfurl the cake, generously spread with the filling, and roll it up tightly. Wrap it securely in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge until it's time to indulge.
  • Trim and discard the ends of the roll. Cut one-quarter diagonally from one end. Place the log on a serving platter. Spread one side of the cake with reserved filling and place it next to the log to create a branch. Dust with extra cocoa powder. Arrange berries on the platter and sprinkle with icing sugar before serving.
