The lightest, most decadent CHOCOLATE CAKE ROLL I've ever had. Chocolate Swiss roll recipe

RECIPE: cakesbymk.com/recipe/decadent...
SHOP: www.amazon.com/shop/cakesbymk
This melt in your mouth chocolate cake roll is so light and creamy, you’ll be going back for seconds (and thirds). A light and airy chocolate sponge is filled with a fluffy whipped cream filling and dark chocolate ganache, which is then rolled into a beautiful log, and coated with more dark chocolate ganache - YUM!
INGREDIENTS:
For accuracy, I would recommend using the gram measurements provided as those are the exact quantities I use. Cup measurements are given as estimates (based on US cup measurements) to make it easier for those who do not have a scale.
Chocolate Sponge Cake
▢⅔ cups (80 g) all purpose flour
▢2 tbsp (16 g) cornstarch
▢¼ cup (25 g) cocoa powder - unsweetened, Dutch processed preferred
▢¼ tsp baking powder
▢¼ tsp salt
▢3 tbsp (45 g) milk - full fat, room temperature
▢3½ tbsp (52 g) unflavoured vegetable oil - I use canola oil
▢½ tsp instant coffee powder
▢6 large eggs - whites and yolks separated, room temperature
▢1 tbsp warm water - not boiling
▢⅓ cup (66 g) white granulated sugar - for the egg yolk mixture
▢2 tsp vanilla essence/extract
▢⅔ cups (133 g) white granulated sugar - for egg whites
▢1 tsp unflavoured vegetable oil - for lightly greasing the baking paper after the sponge is cooked.
Dark Chocolate Ganache

Whipped Cream

[@CakesbyMK]

Thanks so much! :D To reduce the eggy smell you can add more vanilla and also make sure the sponge isn't over or under baked :)

Heya! :D I just use the regular fresh cream you buy at the supermarket, I usually use Anchor or Pams :)

[@remzeilvalencia764]

Hi Maryam. I tried to bake this cake but I am not sure what did I do wrong because after I unroll the sponge cake it sticks on the parchment paper. I followed all the instructions of yours

[@blueismylove3128]

I'm pagan and we call these Yule logs! Thanks for the awesome recipe as pagans are certainly celebrating the winter solstice/Yule from Dec 21st to Jan 1. Now I can make a delicious Yule log for the festivities ❤❤.

Please tell me if I can use a coffee substitute for this recipe. If so, what is it?

[@CakesbyMK]

Heya! You can simply leave the coffee out if you prefer :)

[@shaguftashaheen9417]

My dear MK. Yours is the only channel on YT that I follow with blind trust and everything's comes out perfect. I have few requests and one question. Pleaaaase do address them. TIA. What is the purpose of adding corn syrup or molasses in cakes or any other dish. Did you miss to mention abt the size of the baking tray or have I missed it?? These small things make a huge difference in the baking adventures of novices like me. REQUEST: could you pleasee make a pecan pie from the scratch. Like the dough and everything. I tried it once in Sydney and the flavour has still not left my mouth. Can't seem to visit Sydney right now. Can you plz help me relive that memory. May Allah bless you and your channel. Cheers❤

[@CakesbyMK]

Thank you so much for all your love and support Shagufta :D The purpose of corn syrup and molasses really depends on the recipe. For fruit cakes or spiced cakes, molasses adds a deep caramel flavour. Corn syrup is used to either add moisture, allow for a smooth consistency in things like syrups (it prevents sugar crystals from forming), and amplify the sweetness in baked goods. Hope that provides some clarity! Will keep your request for a pecan pie in mind for future videos :D

[@chizobandubuka8944]

Hi thank for all the training. Please I notice you use butter and vegetable oil for cakes. Please can I use margarine and vegetable oil in place of butter and vegetable oil.i wish to try your recipe. Also what can I add to make my cake moist and soft. Thanks. From Nigeria

[@CakesbyMK]

Heya! :D I think margarine would work okay, you just need to make sure it isn't too soft as it needs to be the right consistency to be able to whip air into it. I find oil is really great for soft and moist cakes, which is why I use it in most of my recipes :D

[@chizobandubuka8944]

Girl cooking is not magic it’s an actual science and eggs are such an important part of the recipe I really don’t think there’s any replacement for it sorry to say

[@babykoala1841]

That's why essence vanila exists to make the egg not smelly

[@ami4764]

Hi, the subsitute for eggs is either buttermilk or aqua faba. Check it out and see which ones work for you. All the best 😊
