Servings



For the Sponge Cake

  • Sugar
    100 g

  • Flour
    100 g

  • Eggs
    5

  • Vanilla Sugar
    1 packet

For the Cream

  • Sugar
    100 g

  • Water
    1/2 cup

  • Egg Yolks
    3

  • Softened Butter
    250 g

  • Dark Chocolate
    100 g

  • Coffee Extract
    2 ml

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Preparing the Sponge Cake

    Mix together 4 egg yolks with sugar and vanilla sugar. Once creamy, add a whole egg and mix for a few minutes with a spatula. Gradually incorporate the flour into the mixture, followed by the stiffly beaten egg whites. Line a rectangular baking sheet with lightly buttered parchment paper. Spread the batter evenly.

  2. 2

    Baking

    Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes. Remove the cake and flip it onto a cool surface without removing the paper. Cover the cake with a kitchen towel (the moisture will make it easier to roll later).

  3. 3

    Preparing the Butter Cream

    Dissolve the sugar in water over low heat to make a thick syrup. Slowly pour the hot syrup over the egg yolks, continuously stirring with a whisk until completely cooled. Add the softened butter and mix until smooth. Divide the mixture in two. Flavor one half with coffee and the other with melted chocolate mixed with a little water.

  4. 4

    Assembling

    Remove the parchment paper from the cake. Spread the coffee cream on the cake, and roll it lengthwise. Trim the ends with a knife for a neat finish.

  5. 5

    Finishing Touches

    Coat with the chocolate cream and create a bark-like texture by gently pulling a fork along the length of the log. Decorate as desired and refrigerate until ready to serve.

All Done
