This classic European-style cake is impressive enough to take center stage on any dessert table. But there's no need to be intimidated by its looks-the technique is an achievable challenge, even for the novice baker. Fluffy chocolate cake is rolled around an extraordinarily silky marshmallow buttercream frosting, before being coated in rich, glossy ganache for an indulgent dessert, earning it a place of honor on any dining table.

Time 2h55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 eggs
1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ chocolate fudge cake mix
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 jar (7 oz) Kraft Jet Puffed marshmallow creme
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup dark chocolate chips
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Line bottoms only of two 15x10x1-inch pans with cooking parchment paper. Spray parchment paper with baking spray with flour.
  • In large bowl, beat eggs with electric mixer on high speed about 6 minutes or until thick and lemon colored. Add cake mix, water and oil. Beat on low speed 30 seconds; scrape bowl. Beat on medium speed 1 minute. Pour 2 1/4 cups batter into each pan; spread evenly.
  • Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched in center.
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle 1/2 cup powdered sugar over two clean kitchen towels. Remove cakes from oven. Run metal spatula around edges of pans; carefully turn one onto each kitchen towel. Peel away parchment paper. Immediately roll up cake and towel from narrow end. Cool cakes on rack 30 minutes with seam centered on bottom of cake.
  • In large bowl, beat marshmallow creme, softened butter and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, scraping bowl occasionally. On low speed, beat in 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Carefully unroll cakes. Allow narrow end to remain slightly curled. Drop 1 cup of the filling by spoonfuls over each cake, and spread evenly to within 1/2 inch of edges. Reroll filled cakes, using kitchen towel to help roll up cake. Wrap in plastic wrap, making sure seam is centered on bottom. Place both wrapped cakes on cookie sheet; refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and whipping cream uncovered on High 40 to 60 seconds; stir. Continue to microwave in 10-second increments until chips can be stirred smooth. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes or until slightly thickened and still pourable. Place cakes on cooling rack placed over waxed paper. Pour chocolate mixture over each cake to cover. Return cakes to refrigerator about 30 minutes or until chocolate is set. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.

This chocolate Swiss roll is a simpler and smaller version of Beth Le Manach's Buche de Noel. It takes time but is worth the effort.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

cooking spray
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup cocoa powder, or more as needed
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
3 eggs
¼ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ½ tablespoons melted butter
¾ cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella®)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray a jelly roll or sheet pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
  • Sift flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda together in a medium bowl.
  • Beat eggs and sugar in another bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until tripled in volume, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat in dry ingredients on low speed in thirds, alternating with melted butter, until just combined. Pour into the prepared pan (the thickness should be less than 1/4 inch).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 8 to 9 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  • Flip cake upside-down out of the pan onto a new sheet of parchment paper. Remove the used parchment paper from the top of the cake gently. Roll cake, starting at one end of the paper, into a tube until it is completely rolled into the parchment. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Whip cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Mix in chocolate-hazelnut spread. Roll out the cake and spread filling evenly. Roll up the cake with the filling, keeping in mind that the cake might crack or tear easily.
