Chocolate Cream Spiral Cake
Our Raspberry Sponge Cake Roll Is Sure To Become Your Favorite Dessert!
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups flour
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.33 cup vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup water
- 6 egg whites
- 2.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.33 cup cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup powdered sugar
- almond slivers to garnish
- fresh raspberries to garnish
- chocolate shavings to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. To make the sponge cake, add the flour, egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, baking powder, vegetable oil, and water to a large bowl, and mix until smooth. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the batter. Spread the sponge cake batter onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and bake for 18 minutes.
- For the chocolate cream, whisk the heavy cream, fold in the cocoa powder and powdered sugar, and mix until smooth.
- Spread an even layer of the chocolate cream onto the cooled sponge cake, making sure to hold some back for later. Sprinkle almond slivers on top of the sponge cake and press raspberries into the cream. Cut the sponge cake into 5 equally-sized strips. Roll the first sponge cake strip up tightly, making sure not to put too much pressure on the sponge cake as this will squeeze the filling out. Place the roll in the center of a large plate. Place the second strip at the end of the first one and wrap it around to continue the spiral. Repeat this process with the last 3 strips.
- Spread the rest of the chocolate cream around the edges using a palette knife. To create a pattern, move the palette knife back and forth at regular intervals. Sprinkle the rest of the almond slivers, raspberries, and chocolate shavings on top.
