Ingredients for the Chocolate Swiss Roll
Batter
The base of this delicious dessert is a light and fluffy sponge cake. To make the batter, you will need:
Eggs: 3 large, at room temperature
Sugar: ⅓ cup
Salt: ¼ teaspoon
Unsalted butter: 2 tablespoons, melted
Cocoa powder: ¼ cup
All-purpose flour: ¼ cup
Baking powder: ½ teaspoon
Milk: 2 tablespoons
Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
Filling
The filling is what gives the Swiss roll its signature swirl. For this Christmas version, we'll be using a rich and creamy chocolate buttercream. Here's what you'll need:
Unsalted butter: ½ cup, softened
Confectioners' sugar: 1 ½ cups
Cocoa powder: ⅓ cup
Milk: 2 tablespoons
Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they are light and fluffy. Gradually add in the sugar and salt, beating until well combined. Next, slowly pour in the melted butter while continuing to mix. In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the egg mixture, alternating with the milk and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
Step 3: Bake the Swiss Roll
Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake is set and springs back when lightly touched. While the cake is still warm, carefully lift the edges of the parchment paper and gently roll the cake into a log shape. Let it cool completely while still rolled up.
Step 4: Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Assemble the Swiss Roll
Unroll the cooled cake and spread the filling evenly over the surface. Carefully roll the cake back up, this time without the parchment paper. Wrap the cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to set.
Final Touches
Once the Swiss roll has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and slice it into 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick slices. Serve on a festive platter and garnish with powdered sugar and chocolate shavings for an extra touch of holiday cheer.
Now that you know how to make a homemade Christmas chocolate Swiss roll, you can impress your guests with this delicious and festive treat. Enjoy the rich and decadent flavors of chocolate and buttercream in every bite. Happy baking!
