Who doesn't like chocolate rolls drenched in chocolate sauce and stuffed with whip cream?
Here's the yummy recipe:
Ingredients
Servings: 8
For the cake
- 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup milk powder
- 3/4 cup white butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- A pinch of baking soda
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
For frosting
- 6 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 drops vanilla essence
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 3/4 cup choco chips
For assembly and serving
- 200 gm whipped, sweetened cream
- 1 cup chocolate sauce (see the note below)
Method
To make the cake
- To make the chocolate cake, mix in all the cake ingredients together.
If the dough is too thick, add an additional 1/4 cup milk.
- Bake it in a preheated oven in an 8-inch cake pan at 180 degrees C for 35 minutes.
Take out of the oven and cool
To make the frosting
- Warm the milk over low heat and add the chocolate chips.
Once the chipst melt, take off heat and mix well.
- Add in the sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, butter.
Beat thoroughly till it loses its gloss and let cool.
Keep aside.
Assembly
- Crush the cooled baked cake, entirely thoroughly.
And then add the chocolate frosting in it and mix till the consistency is like a chapati dough.
- On a large rectangle of butter paper, spread the cake dough to cover the paper.
The thickness has to be consistent, otherwise the roll will crack.
- Spread whipped cream on it.
Roll it inwards very slowly, carefully discarding the paper as you roll.
Wrap in foil.
- Refrigerate it for 15 minutes at least, ideally slightly longer.
- Take the refrigerated cake out and pour dark chocolate sauce over it.
Wrap up.
- Refrigerate for half an hour.
- Take out of fridge and cut into circular shapes.
Serve.
Ria's Note: For the chocolate sauce, either buy a readymade sauce. Hershey's will do fine.
To make your own: Beat 6 tbsp of butter and add 1/2 cup cocoa powder and add 3/4 cup sugar to it. Beat for five minutes and add 1/2 tsp vanilla essence. Meanwhile warm 1 cup milk over low heat and add 3/4 cup of choco chips. Stir until all the choco chips have melted. Add this mixture to the butter-cocoa-sugar-vanilla mixture and cool.
