Passover Chocolate Roulade Recipes

Steps:

• Filling: Bring cream just to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat; pour over chocolate in a medium bowl. Let stand until softened, about 3 minutes; using a rubber spatula, stir until emulsified. Cover with plastic and refrigerate overnight.
• Cake: Butter a rimmed baking sheet; line with parchment, then butter parchment. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, oil, egg yolks, and milk. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine egg whites, salt, cream of tartar, and vanilla. Whisk on medium speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Slowly add remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Increase mixer speed to high and continue whisking until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes more.
• Stir about one-third of egg-white mixture into flour mixture to lighten, then gently fold in remaining egg-white mixture in three additions. Transfer about 1 cup batter to a small bowl and gently fold in cocoa. Using an offset spatula, spread vanilla cake batter in prepared pan, filling pan completely and being careful not to deflate batter. Drop teaspoons of chocolate batter evenly across surface of vanilla batter, then swirl together to create a marble pattern. Bake until lightly golden brown and center of cake springs back when lightly pressed, about 18 minutes.
• Run a knife between sides of cake and pan to loosen. Invert cake onto a sheet of parchment lightly coated with cooking spray; remove uncoated parchment from cake. Using coated parchment, start at a short end and roll up cake. Let cool completely, seam-side down.
• Unroll cake. Whisk chilled chocolate filling to soft peaks. Evenly spread on top of cake, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Starting at a short end, carefully roll up cake without parchment. Transfer, seam-side down, to a serving platter to maintain cylindrical shape. Slice and serve (uncut rolled cake can be refrigerated up to 1 hour).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line bottom and sides of a 9 inch springform pan with foil. Grease foil.
• Melt margarine and chocolate over low heat. Stir until smooth and let cool.
• In a medium-size mixing bowl, beat whites until stiff; about 2 minutes. In a separate bowl, beat together yolks and sugar until thick and pale; about 1 minute. Blend in chocolate mixture and stir in almonds. Fold in beaten whites, 1/3 at a time, into chocolate until no streaks of white remain. Scrape into prepared pan.
• Place an 8 inch baking pan with 1 inch of water in it on the bottom rack of the oven (to make the torte more moist).
• Bake torte on center rack at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 to 50 minutes, or until sides begin to pull away from pan and top is set in center. Cover the torte loosely with foil for the last 20 minutes of baking. Note: Don't worry if the cake cracks because the top will be on the bottom later.
• Cool on wire rack for 10 minutes and then carefully remove sides of pan. Invert onto a serving plate and cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs one at a time. Sift together the matzo cake meal, salt and potato starch. Stir into the batter just until blended. Gently mix in the walnuts and chocolate chips. Chill the dough briefly so it will be easy to handle.
• Divide the dough into halves and form each half into a 5 inch wide loaf that is about 1 inch thick. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top.
• Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool, then slice into 1 inch slices to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Oil a jellyroll pan, and line with wax paper. Sift matzoh cake meal and cocoa together. Set aside. In large bowl, beat egg yolks with 1/3 cup sugar until thick and light. Add oil, and beat 30 seconds longer. In separate large bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and whisk until stiff. Add about 1/3 stiffly beaten egg whites and all of the cake meal mixture to the egg yolk mixture. Fold in gently and quickly.
• Fold in remaining whites in two additions. Do not over fold. White streaks should still be seen. Spread into preheated pan, and bake in preheated oven until edges slightly shrink from sides of pan, about 20 minutes. Cool in pan.
• To prepare ganache, bring cream to scalding (until little bubbles form on side of pan). Pour chocolate over, and stir gently over low heat until chocolate melts. If small lumps remain, strain through cheesecloth. cool to room temperature.
• To assemble, turn cake out of pan, and begin to peel wax paper at longest side. Use half the filling to spread over exposed cake as paper is removed and cake is rolled. With a pastry bag and small star nozzle, cover outside of roll with tiny rosettes, or scatter fresh raspberries over. Refrigerate.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil an 11 by 16 jelly roll pan. Line with waxed paper and oil the paper.
• Beat egg yolks until light and fluffy and gradually add sugar. Continue beating until mixture is thick and pale in color.
• Melt chocolate with coffee in saucepan over low heat and cool. Add to egg mixture. Beat egg whites into stiff peaks. Fold into mixture.
• Spread batter evenly on baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 mintues, until toothpick comes out dry. Leave out of oven for 10 minutes, then turn onto waxed paper (overlap 2 sheets if necessary to obtain 18 inch width). Let cool.
• Remove waxed paper. If edges of cake are very dry, cut off edges with sharp knife. Dust top of cake with cocoa.
• To make Filling: Beat cream with vanilla and sugar until peaks are slightly more than soft. Set aside 1/4 of whipped cream, and spread remainder on cake leaving about 1 inch of narrow side uncovered. Starting from opposite narrow side, roll up like jelly roll.
• Frost top with remaining whipped cream. If desired, decorate with chocolate curls. Refrigerate or freeze.

Steps:

• Beat egg whites with 1/4 cup of sugar and set aside.
• In a saucepan, melt chocolate chips, and margarine.
• Remove from heat and let cool a few minutes.
• Beat egg yolks, with 3/4 cup sugar and vanilla.
• Add melted chocolate and mix.
• Fold in egg whites.
• Pour half in to a greased springform or tube pan. Put rest in refrigerator.
• Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. It will rise nicely and then fall.
• When it is cool, pour rest of refrigerated mixture on top and put in freezer for several hours.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Oil the base and sides of a 23 x 32cm baking tray and line with baking parchment. Beat the egg whites, lemon juice and a pinch of salt together using a stand mixer or electric whisk until very stiff. Add 1 tbsp of the sugar and beat to stiff peaks, then add the rest of the sugar, a spoonful at a time, until the mixture is thick and shiny. Sift over the cocoa and cornflour, then gently fold these in with a spatula until completely combined. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared tin, then bake for 14-15 mins until just crisp to the touch. Leave to cool completely in the tin.
• Meanwhile, make the fillings. For the chocolate filling, tip the chocolate and cream into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water and stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is shiny and smooth. Remove from the heat and leave to cool to room temperature. For the cream filling, whisk the cream and sugar together to stiff peaks using an electric whisk.
• Dust a large sheet of baking parchment with cocoa powder, then carefully flip the meringue onto it. Remove the tin and carefully peel away the parchment. With a short end facing you, score a line across the meringue, 2cm in from the edge. Spread over the chocolate filling followed by the cream, then drizzle with most of the caramel sauce. Sprinkle over the sea salt flakes and drag a palette or cutlery knife through the fillings to gently swirl them. Roll up the roulade into a tight log, starting at the scored end and using the parchment underneath to help you. Lift onto a platter or board. Will keep chilled for up to a day. Drizzle over the remaining caramel sauce, then finely grate over more chocolate to serve.

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.
• Unroll cake. Brush surface with Armagnac syrup; then spread with mousse, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Roll up again, using kitchen towel. Bring towel's edges together along top of cake; secure with clothespins (leave ends open). Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Transfer cake to a rack set over a rimmed baking sheet; remove towel. Pour glaze on top. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Garnish with chestnuts, if desired.
