Chocolate Roulade
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 150g caster sugar
- 50g cocoa powder, plus extra for dusting
- 300ml double cream
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and line a 23 x 32cm Swiss roll tin with baking parchment.
- In a large bowl, whisk 6 large eggs and 150g caster sugar with an electric hand whisk until light, fluffy and tripled in volume. This will take about 5 mins.
- Sift over 50g cocoa powder and carefully fold in with a spatula. Be gentle so you don't knock out the air you've just whisked in. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, then gently and evenly spread. Bake for 8-10 mins until risen and just firm to the touch.
- Lay a sheet of baking parchment on the work surface and dust with a little cocoa. Turn the sponge onto the parchment and peel away the parchment it was baked with. Score a line along one of the shorter edges, about 2cm in. Roll the sponge up from this end with the parchment inside. Leave to cool completely.
- Whip 300ml double cream with 2 tbsp icing sugar until just thick. Unravel the sponge, spread over the cream, then re-roll. Dust with a little more cocoa before slicing. Enjoy!
Roulade is a classic dish with a rich history dating back to medieval Europe. This versatile dish can be made with various meats, such as beef, pork, or poultry, and even with vegetables for a vegetarian option. The term "roulade" is derived from the French word "rouler," meaning "to roll," which perfectly describes the preparation of this dish. Chefs like Julia Child and Gordon Ramsay have popularized roulade in modern times, adding their own unique twists to the traditional recipe. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in renowned French and German restaurants, where it is often served with a delectable sauce and paired with seasonal vegetables. The key to a perfect roulade lies in the precise rolling technique and the flavorful filling, which can include ingredients like herbs, cheese, and prosciutto. For a unique twist, some chefs also prepare sweet roulades filled with fruits and nuts, offering a delightful alternative to the savory version.
