TRIPLE CHOCOLATE ROLL CAKE



Triple Chocolate Roll Cake image

A chocolate cake is wrapped around alternating stripes of white chocolate whipped cream and a whipped dark chocolate mousse for not only great flavor, but a striking presentation as well. Make sure to really chill your fillings before whipping--overnight would be best--or they won't fluff up properly. This takes some time and patience to make--so plan ahead when making this cake! Serve with additional whipped cream, if desired.

Time 7h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ½ cups white chocolate chips (such as Ghirardelli®)
1 ½ cups heavy cream, divided
1 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Ghirardelli® 60% Cacao Baking Chips)
1 ½ cups heavy cream, divided
4 egg yolks, at room temperature
⅓ cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 tablespoons strongly brewed black coffee, cooled
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
4 egg whites, at room temperature
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa powder, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place white chocolate chips and 3/4 cup heavy cream for white chocolate filling in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power until chocolate is completely melted and cream is fully incorporated, about 2 minutes, stopping to stir every 30 seconds. Set aside and allow to cool to room temperature, 10 to 20 minutes. Place into the refrigerator until completely chilled, at least 4 hours, to overnight.
  • Meanwhile, place dark chocolate chips and 3/4 cup heavy cream for dark chocolate filling into another medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power until chocolate is melted and cream is fully incorporated, about 2 minutes, stopping to stir every 30 seconds. Set aside and allow to cool to room temperature, 10 to 20 minutes. Place into the refrigerator until completely chilled, at least 4 hours, to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12x17-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Grease the pan and parchment.
  • Combine egg yolks and brown sugar in a large bowl. Beat at medium-high speed until mixture is light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Mix in butter, coffee, and vanilla extract.
  • Sift flour, 1/3 cup cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a small bowl. Add to egg yolk mixture; mix until just combined.
  • Beat egg whites in a separate clean, dry, large bowl with clean, dry beaters on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating constantly. Continue to beat until mixture is glossy and stiff peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the egg white mixture gently into the yolk mixture until just combined. Fold in remaining egg whites gently until no streaks of egg white remain. Do not overmix.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and gently spread evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cake springs back lightly when touched, about 10 minutes. Do not overbake.
  • While cake is baking, prepare a piece of parchment paper that is slightly larger than the baking pan. Sprinkle lightly with remaining cocoa powder.
  • Remove cake from the oven and run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Invert the cake quickly and carefully, as pan will be hot, onto the cocoa-sprinkled parchment paper. Remove the piece of parchment the cake baked on and discard. Working quickly, roll the cake and cocoa-sprinkled paper up together, starting from the narrow end. Set the cake seam-side down on a wire rack to cool completely, 1 to 2 hours.
  • While cake cools, finish the fillings. Remove the white and dark chocolate from the refrigerator. The white chocolate will be soft-set. Whip the white chocolate, beginning on low speed and working up to medium-high, until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in remaining 3/4 cup of heavy cream, and beat on medium-high speed until mixture has the texture of whipped cream, 1 to 2 minutes. Place white chocolate whipped cream into a piping bag or zip-top bag with a 1/2-inch hole cut into a corner. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
  • Prepare dark chocolate filling. The dark chocolate will be firm set. Whip the dark chocolate, starting on low speed and working up to medium speed, until mixture crumbles. Beat until the chocolate crumbles begin to become lighter in color and texture, 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining 3/4 cup heavy cream and beat on medium-high speed until mixture is smooth, light, and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. The dark chocolate mixture will be slightly thicker than the white chocolate. Add more heavy cream if necessary to achieve the desired "lightness" and consistency of whipped mousse. Place whipped dark chocolate mousse into a piping bag or zip-top bag with a 1/2-inch hole cut into a corner. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
  • Unroll cooled cake gently and discard parchment paper. Pipe alternating stripes of white chocolate whipped cream and whipped dark chocolate mousse vertically along the 12-inch side of the cake, in stripes about 1/2-inch thick. Continue this vertical pattern along the entirety of the cake, leaving about a 1/2-inch border on all sides. Gently roll the cake back up over the filling (without the parchment) as tightly as possible without breaking the cake until the cake is completely rolled up. Place onto a serving platter and refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour.

Categories     Dessert

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 and 3/4 cups (219g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
3/4 cup (62g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1 and 3/4 cups (350g) granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons espresso powder (optional)
1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil (or canola oil or melted coconut oil)
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, at room temperature
1 cup (240ml) freshly brewed strong hot coffee (regular or decaf)
1.25 cups (2.5 sticks or 290g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3 and 1/2 cups (420g) confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or dutch process)
3-5 Tablespoons (45-75ml) heavy cream (or half-and-half or milk), at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
optional for decoration: semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease two 9-inch cake pans, line with parchment paper, then grease the parchment paper. Parchment paper helps the cakes seamlessly release from the pans.
  • Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder (if using) together in a large bowl. Set aside. Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or you can use a whisk) mix the oil, eggs, and vanilla together on medium-high speed until combined. Add the buttermilk and mix until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, add the hot water/coffee, and whisk or beat on low speed until the batter is completely combined. Batter is thin.
  • Divide batter evenly between pans. Bake for 23-26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on yours. The cakes are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (Note: Even if they're completely done, the cooled cakes may *slightly* sink in the center. Cocoa powder is simply not as structurally strong as all-purpose flour and can't hold up to all the moisture necessary to make a moist tasting chocolate cake. It's normal!)
  • Remove the cakes from the oven and set on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
  • With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy - about 2 minutes. Add confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, 3 Tablespoons heavy cream, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to high speed and beat for 1 full minute. Do not over-whip. Add 1/4 cup more confectioners' sugar or cocoa powder if frosting is too thin or 1-2 more Tablespoons of cream if frosting is too thick. (I usually add 1 more.) Taste. Add another pinch of salt if desired.
  • If cooled cakes are domed on top, use a large serrated knife to slice a thin layer off the tops to create a flat surface. This is called "leveling" the cakes. Discard or crumble over finished cake. Place 1 cake layer on your cake stand or serving plate. Evenly cover the top with frosting. Top with 2nd layer and spread remaining frosting all over the top and sides. I always use an icing spatula and bench scraper for the frosting. Garnish with chocolate chips, if desired.
  • Refrigerate cake for at least 30-60 minutes before slicing. This helps the cake hold its shape when cutting.
  • Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

TRIPLE-CHOCOLATE ROULADE CAKE



Triple-Chocolate Roulade Cake image

This flourless cake is a sure-fire crowd pleaser. Kids will love that it looks like an oversized Yodel or Ho Ho, and adults will appreciate its sophisticated, not-too-sweet flavor.

Provided by Karen Barker

Categories     Dessert

Yield 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1-1/3 cups heavy cream
4 oz. high-quality white chocolate, such as Green and Black or Lindt, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
Unsalted butter, softened, for the pan
10 Tbs. unsweetened cocoa
3 oz. bittersweet chocolate (60% to 70% cacao), finely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
2 Tbs. brewed coffee
9 large eggs, separated, whites at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 Tbs. light corn syrup
6 oz. bittersweet chocolate (60% to 70% cacao)
1 oz. (2 Tbs.) unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
3 oz. high-quality white chocolate, such as Green and Black or Lindt, shaved (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, heat 2/3 cup of the cream over low heat to a bare simmer. Remove from the heat, add the white chocolate and let sit for 1 minute before whisking until smooth. Gradually whisk in the remaining cream. Transfer to a medium metal bowl, cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Whisk to medium peaks just before filling the cake.
  • Position a rack in the bottom third of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F.
  • Butter an 18×13-inch rimmed baking sheet. Line the pan with parchment. Butter the parchment and sprinkle 2 Tbs. of the cocoa over it, shaking the pan for even coverage and knocking out the excess.
  • In a double boiler, melt the chocolate with the coffee, whisking until smooth. Remove from the heat.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg yolks on medium speed, scraping the bowl as needed, until light in color and beginning to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the sugar and beat until very thick and pale yellow, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and mix in the melted chocolate. Stop the mixer and sift 6 Tbs. of the cocoa over the mixture. Add the salt and stir with a rubber spatula until blended. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • In a clean stand mixer bowl with a clean whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on medium speed until frothy, about 30 seconds. In a steady stream, add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Increase the speed to medium high and whip until medium peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • With a rubber spatula, fold half the whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Gently fold in the remaining whites until the batter is evenly colored, with no streaks of white. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking sheet, gently spreading it with an offset spatula.
  • Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until the cake springs back when touched and is beginning to pull away from the sides of the pan, 18 to 22 minutes. Immediately loosen the cake from the sides of the pan with a paring knife. Sift the remaining 2 Tbs. cocoa evenly over the cake.
  • While the cake is still hot, lay a clean, unscented, lint-free kitchen towel over it. If the towel is long, extend one end about 1-1/2 inches beyond a short side of the cake and don't worry about the other end. Invert a large rack or cutting board over the towel. Holding both the baking sheet and the rack with protected hands, invert the cake. Remove the baking sheet and parchment.
  • Using both hands and starting from the short end with the shortest towel overhang, roll the cake and the towel up together. Let cool for 30 minutes.
  • Carefully unroll the cake; it should look wavy and both ends should curl. (It's OK if there are some small cracks.) Let cool completely, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Using an offset spatula, spread the filling over the cake to within 1-1/2 inches of the far short edge and to within 1/2 inch of the other edges. Be sure to coax the filling into the interior of the closer curled end so that when the cake is sliced there will be filling in the center of the spiral.
  • Reroll the cake without the towel this time. The filling may squish out of the ends a bit, which is fine.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. If the cake is already on a rack from rolling, set that rack over the baking sheet. If it's not, set a rack over the baking sheet and, using 2 large spatulas, transfer the cake to the rack.
  • Combine the cream and the corn syrup in a small saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate and butter. Let sit for 1 minute, then whisk until smooth. Let cool until fairly warm to the touch, then pour the glaze slowly and evenly over the roulade. If necessary, use a small spatula to spread the glaze on the sides of the cake. (Don't worry about covering the ends; they will be trimmed later.) Garnish the roulade with white chocolate shavings, if you like.
  • Refrigerate the roulade uncovered on the rack for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours to allow the glaze to set.
  • Using a knife with a thin blade dipped in hot water and wiped dry, trim the ends of the cake. Loosen the roulade from the rack by sliding the knife along the roulade where it's been "glued" to the rack by the glaze. Transfer the cake to a serving platter. To serve, slice the cake using the same knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry after each slice.

Yield Makes 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 32

Cake
2 3/4 cups cake flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 3/4 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Ganache
3 cups whipping cream
1 1/2 pounds bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
Mousse
4 1/3 cups chilled heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 1/4 pounds bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
Assembly and serving
2/3 cup seedless raspberry jam
1 15 3/4x11 3/4-inch transfer sheet with gold-thread design*
3/4 pound bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
3 1/2-pint baskets raspberries
1/2 pound cherries
1 1-pint basket small strawberries
1 1/2-pint basket blueberries
1 1/2-pint basket blackberries
*Transfer sheets, or "transfers," are sturdy but flexible plastic sheets coated with a mixture of cocoa butter and food coloring and etched with repetitive designs, such as golden swirls.
Here's how they work in this recipe: First, melted chocolate is spread over the sheets. After the chocolate has been chilled until firm, the plastic sheets are peeled away, leaving an edible design on the chocolate's surface.
Transfer sheets are available at some cake- and candy-supply stores or by mail from Beryl's Cake Decorating; call 800-488-2749.

Steps:

  • Make cake:
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Butter and flour two 10-inch-diameter cake pans with 2-inch-high sides; line each with round of parchment paper or waxed paper. Combine first 5 ingredients in medium bowl; whisk to blend well. Using electric mixer, beat sugar, eggs and egg yolks in large bowl until very thick and heavy ribbon falls when beaters are lifted, about 6 minutes. Add oil, sour cream and vanilla, then dry ingredients all at once to egg mixture. Beat at low speed until just blended, about 1 minute. Scrape down sides of bowl. Beat at high speed until well blended, about 3 minutes. Fold in chocolate chips; divide batter between prepared pans (about 3 3/4 cups batter in each).
  • Bake cakes until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool cakes completely in pans on racks. Cover; let cakes stand at room temperature overnight.
  • Make ganache:
  • Bring cream to simmer in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. Transfer ganache to glass bowl. Let stand until thick enough to spread, about 4 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)
  • Make mousse:
  • Using electric mixer, beat 3 1/3 cups cream in large bowl until peaks form; refrigerate. Combine remaining 1 cup cream and corn syrup in heavy medium saucepan and bring to simmer. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and whisk until melted, smooth, and still warm to touch. Pour warm chocolate mixture directly onto whipped cream and fold in gently. Chill until mousse is set, at least 8 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)
  • Assemble and serve cake:
  • Cut around pan sides; turn out cakes. Peel off paper. Cut each cake horizontally in half. Place 1 cake layer, cut side up, on 9-inch tart pan bottom or 9-inch cardboard round. Place another layer, cut side up, on clean baking sheet. Spread each with 1/3 cup raspberry jam. Chill until jam sets, about 15 minutes
  • If ganache is chilled, microwave on defrost setting in 15-second repetitions until just soft enough to spread, stirring occasionally. Drop 1 cup ganache by rounded teaspoonfuls over each jam layer. Using offset spatula, gently spread ganache to cover jam. Drop 3 cups mousse by heaping spoonfuls onto each ganache layer; gently spread to cover. Refrigerate cake layers 30 minutes. Using large metal spatula, place cake layer from baking sheet, mousse side up, atop cake layer on tart pan bottom. Place third cake layer, cut side down, on cake (reserve remaining cake layer for another use). Spread 1 cup mousse over top of assembled cake. Using long offset spatula, spread sides of assembled cake with enough ganache (about 1 1/2 cups) to fill gaps and make smooth surface. Transfer cake on tart pan bottom to platter.
  • Turn 1 large baking sheet upside down on work surface. Arrange two 20-inch-long pieces of foil on work surface. Cut two 4 1/2-inch-wide by 15 3/4-inch-long strips from transfer sheet. Lay 1 transfer sheet strip, rough-textured design facing up, onto each sheet of foil. Place chocolate in medium metal bowl; set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Stir until chocolate is smooth and very warm to touch (about 115°F). Remove bowl from over water.
  • Pour thick ribbon of melted chocolate (about 2/3 cup) onto 1 transfer sheet strip. Using long offset spatula, spread chocolate evenly over transfer strip, covering completely (chocolate will run over sides of strip). Lift edge of chocolate-coated strip with tip of knife. Slide hands between transfer strip and foil, lift entire transfer strip and place it, chocolate side up, on inverted baking sheet. Refrigerate until chocolate on strip is set and loses gloss but is still flexible (do not let chocolate become too firm), about 1 1/2 minutes. Using fingertips, lift chocolate-coated strip and attach, chocolate side in, to side of cake. Press strip to seal chocolate to side of cake (strip will stand about 1 inch above top edge of cake). Coat remaining transfer strip with chocolate, transfer to inverted baking sheet; chill until set but still flexible. Arrange 1 end of second strip against (but not overlapping) 1 end of first strip. Press second strip to seal chocolate to side of cake (both strips will just encircle cake). Refrigerate cake until chocolate strips are firm, about 30 minutes. Carefully peel transfer paper off chocolate strips. Chill cake at least 3 hours and up to 1 day. Mound fruit atop cake. Refrigerate until ready to serve. (Cake can be assembled up to 8 hours ahead.)
