Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces eggs
  • 100 g sugar
  • 50 g flour
  • 2 tbsp strong coffee
  • 200 g dark chocolate
  • 150 ml heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp rum optional
  • q.s. powdered sugar for decoration
  • q.s. chocolate shavings for decoration

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Swiss roll pan
  • Wire rack
  • Plastic wrap

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Gently fold in the sifted flour and strong coffee.
  4. Pour the batter into a prepared Swiss roll pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  5. While the cake is baking, melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Stir in the heavy cream and rum (if using) to create a ganache.
  6. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack. Unroll the cake and spread a layer of ganache over it. Roll it back up and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  7. After chilling, unwrap the log, spread remaining ganache on top and sides, and decorate with powdered sugar and chocolate shavings. Slice and serve.
