MINI SWISS ROLLS

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat an 18-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet or jelly roll pan with cooking spray; line the bottom with parchment paper and spray the parchment.
• Beat the cream of tartar and egg whites in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup of the sugar. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Whisk the egg yolks with the milk, oil, vanilla and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; whisk into the yolk mixture until smooth. Stir one-third of the egg white mixture into the batter with a rubber spatula, then gently fold in the remaining egg white mixture in 2 batches. Spread the batter in the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the cake springs back when gently pressed, about 10 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
• Generously sift cocoa powder over the top of the warm cake and loosen the edges with a knife; lay a clean kitchen towel (not terry cloth) over the cake. Place another baking sheet over the towel and flip the cake with the baking sheets to invert it onto the towel. Remove the top baking sheet and parchment, then dust the top with cocoa powder. Starting at the long end, roll up the cake and towel together. Transfer seam-side down to a rack and let cool completely.
• For the filling: Whip the cream, corn syrup and vanilla in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the glaze: Heat the chocolate, cream, coconut oil and vanilla if using in the top of a double boiler, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and warm, about 4 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• To assemble: Unroll the cake and spread with the filling. With one of the short edges facing you, slice the cake horizontally into 6 strips, then slice in half vertically so you have twelve 3-by-6 1/2-inch strips. Roll the strips to form tight mini jelly rolls. Dust off any excess cocoa powder. Chill for 15 minutes.
• Fit a baking sheet with a wire rack. Arrange the rolls on the rack so they are not touching and pour the glaze over them, completely covering the rolls on all sides. Chill at least 15 minutes to set the glaze before serving.

SWISS ROLL

Steps:

• Despite appearances, Swiss rolls are in fact very simple to make. The cake itself has no butter in it, so you can feel justified in spreading it with lashings of jam and whipped cream. Use any kind of jam you like; apricot or blackberry, for instance, would do just as well as raspberry or strawberry.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Line the base of a 10 by 15-inches Swiss roll or jelly roll pan with greaseproof or parchment paper. Brush the base and sides of the pan with melted butter, and dust with flour.
• In a large bowl or in an electric food mixer, whisk the eggs, and sugar together, until light and fluffy, and then add the water, and vanilla extract.
• Sift in the flour, about a third at a time, and using a large metal spoon, fold it into the egg mixture.
• Pour the mixture gently into the prepared pan, and bake in the oven until the center of the cake is slightly springy and the edges have shrunk a little from the sides of the tin, about 12 to 15 minutes.
• Spread out a piece of parchment paper (slightly larger than the tin in size) on a work surface and sprinkle evenly with caster sugar (this stops the roll from sticking to the paper). Turn or invert the pan onto the sugared parchment paper, and then carefully remove the tin and parchment paper from the bottom of the cake.
• Place a slightly damp, clean tea or kitchen towel over the cake while it cools- this will prevent it from drying out and cracking when you roll it.
• When the cake is cool, spread the jam sparingly over the cake, leaving a 1-inch border. Repeat with the whipped cream. With the longest side facing you, roll up the Swiss roll away from you, then transfer to a plate to serve. Sprinkle the cake with caster sugar or dust with icing sugar to finish.
