Number Of Ingredients 12

Vegetable-oil cooking spray
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Pinch of salt
4 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Armagnac Syrup
Chestnut Mousse
Chocolate Glaze
Chestnuts, in syrup, drained, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a 13-by-18-inch rimmed jelly-roll pan with cooking spray; line with parchment. Coat lining with cooking spray. Dust with cocoa; tap out excess. Sift cocoa, flour, cornstarch, and salt together into a bowl; set aside.
  • Put eggs and sugar in the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer; set over a pan of simmering water. Whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved and eggs are hot to the touch. Transfer bowl to mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until pale, fluffy, and cool.
  • Sprinkle flour mixture over egg mixture; gently fold in with a rubber spatula. When almost combined, pour melted butter down side of bowl; fold in. Pour batter onto pan; smooth. Bake until cake pulls away from sides of pan and is springy to the touch, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Run a thin knife around cake. Invert onto a clean kitchen towel dusted generously with cocoa; peel off parchment.
  • Starting from one short end, roll cake, using towel to guide into a log. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.

Tips:

  • For a smooth and glossy glaze, make sure the chocolate is melted slowly and evenly. You can do this by melting it in a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between.
  • If the glaze is too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of milk or cream. If the glaze is too thin, you can thicken it up by adding a little bit of melted chocolate.
  • To get a nice, even coating on your roulade, dip the entire roulade into the glaze, then lift it out and let the excess glaze drip off. You can also use a spoon to pour the glaze over the roulade.
  • If you want to decorate your roulade with additional chocolate or sprinkles, do so immediately after glazing, while the glaze is still wet.

Conclusion:

Chocolate glaze is a delicious and versatile way to finish off a roulade. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can achieve a smooth, glossy glaze that will make your roulade look and taste its best.
