Chocolate Swiss roll

The chocolate Swiss roll is served chilled for Sunday family lunch, with a fluffy sponge, smooth filling and a thin glaze. The filling sits between the soft layers, and the glaze sets in the fridge; a slice is reminiscent of sponge cake with cream, just wrapped in a layer of chocolate. I cut it into small slices and serve it straight from the fridge. Preparation: 25 minutes. Cooking: 30-35 minutes. Resting: 130-135 minutes. Total time: 185-195 minutes. Serves: 8.

Ingredients
For the sponge
- 6 eggs
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 6 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
For the filling
- 200 ml whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 100 g Milka chocolate with raisins and hazelnuts
- 100 g plain chocolate with 40% cocoa
For the glaze
- 100 g milk chocolate
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons milk
Preparation
1. Mix the whipping cream and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a saucepan. Keep it over the heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring from time to time, until it starts to boil. Take the pan off the heat, add the chocolate broken into pieces and stir until it melts. Leave the filling at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, then put it in the fridge until thoroughly chilled. 2. Preheat the oven to 170°C and line a large baking tray with baking paper. 3. Beat the egg whites with the salt until foamy. Add the 6 tablespoons of sugar and beat for 2-3 minutes on the highest speed. Add the egg yolks and continue beating. Fold in the flour mixed with the baking powder using a spatula, with gentle circular movements. 4. Pour the mixture into the tray and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the surface is lightly golden. 5. Place the sponge, still on the baking paper, on a clean, damp tea towel. Carefully roll it up and leave it to cool for 30 minutes. 6. Unroll the sponge, remove the paper and beat the cold filling until fluffy. Spread it over the whole surface of the sponge, roll it up again and chill for 30 minutes. 7. Melt the milk chocolate, butter and milk in a bain-marie for about 5 minutes, until the glaze is smooth. 8. Spread the glaze over the roll and smooth it out. Chill the roll for at least an hour before slicing.
Notes
Keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days; you can make the filling a day ahead and keep it chilled. Serve the slices with black coffee, which cuts through the sweetness of the glaze. For the filling, the 200 g of chocolate can be replaced with 200 g of chocolate with hazelnuts and raisins; this version also contains hazelnuts, in addition to eggs, gluten and dairy. Choose plain chocolate with 40% cocoa for the filling in the basic version, not very bitter chocolate, so it does not overpower the flavour. The filling needs to be cold all the way through before you beat it, otherwise it will stay soft.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the sponge crack when I roll it?
It can dry out if it stays in the oven too long. Start checking the sponge after 20 minutes and take it out when it is lightly golden.
What should I do if the filling is still soft after beating?
Put the bowl in the fridge for another 15 minutes, then beat it again. The filling needs to be cold, not just cool.
Can I use the plain chocolate from the filling for the glaze too?
Yes. Replace the 100 g of milk chocolate with 100 g of plain chocolate with 40% cocoa and use the same amount of butter and milk.
How do I cut slices without the glaze sticking to the knife?
Run the blade under hot water and wipe it before each cut.
