Method

Make it together.

  1. Heat the oven to 200u00b0C (Gas Mark 6, 390u00b0F). Whisk together the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla extract until pale. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff.
  2. Mix together the flour, cocoa, ground almonds and Baking Powder. Fold in the egg yolk mixture along with the egg whites until combined. Spread into a 21 x 31cm lined Swiss roll tin. Bake for 10 minutes.
  3. Cool in the tin for 10-15 minutes, and then carefully turn out onto fresh baking paper. Drizzle with alcohol or orange juice and gently roll using the paper to help you. Leave rolled until ready to fill.
  4. Whip the cream for the filling with the icing sugar and then unroll the sponge, fill and re-roll. Whip the topping ingredients together and spread all over the log. Decorate with Giant Chocolate Stars.
