👩🍳 Preparation Method
1. Prepare the oven and tray
Preheat oven to 170°C.
Grease a baking tray lightly and line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare dry ingredients
Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Add instant coffee and mix well.
3. Whip eggs
Whisk egg whites until soft peaks form.
Gradually add half the sugar until glossy and firm.
In another bowl, whisk egg yolks with remaining sugar and vanilla until light and thick.
4. Combine mixture
Gently fold half of the egg whites into the yolk mixture.
Add the remaining whites and mix carefully.
Add dry ingredients and fold gently.
Finally, add melted butter and mix until smooth.
5. Bake
Pour batter into tray and spread evenly.
Bake for about 10 minutes only.
6. Shape the roll
Turn the cake onto parchment paper sprinkled with sugar.
Roll it gently while still warm and let it cool to prevent cracking.
7. Prepare the filling
Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and mascarpone until soft and stable peaks form (3–4 minutes).
8. Make chocolate sauce
Melt chocolate, butter, sugar, and cream in short microwave intervals (20 seconds each), stirring until smooth.
9. Assemble
Unroll the cooled cake.
Spread filling evenly, leaving 2.5 cm at the edge.
Roll it back gently.
Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
10. Serve
Place on a rack with a tray underneath.
Pour chocolate sauce over the roll.
Let it set, then slice and serve.
