Decadent Chocolate Roulade

I was just looking through one of my magazine Australian Women's Weekly and came across this recipe and it looks really good and thought why not give it a go as i've got the ingredients at home and the steps seems easy enough. And it was easy, simple, decadent cake!



Decadent Chocolate Roulade

 1 tbsp caster sugar
200g dark eating chocolate,chopped
1/4 cup (60ml) hot water
1 tsp dry instant coffee
4 eggs, separated
1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar,extra
300ml thickened cream
120g raspberries, strawberries or even banana


  • Preheat oven to 180 deg C / 160 deg C fan-forced. Grease a swiss roll pan. Line base with baking paper.
  • Place a piece of baking paper ,cut same size as the Swiss roll pan, on the bench and sprinkle evenly with caster sugar.
  • Combine chocolate,hot water and coffee in a medium heatproof bowl. Stir over a medium saucepan of simmering water until smooth; remove from heat.
