Chocolate Swiss Roll Cake

Ingredients:

• 5 eggs
• 120 g (about 1/2 cup) sugar
• 100 g (about 3/4 cup) flour
• 40 g (about 1/3 cup) rich cocoa powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract or paste

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F) (fan).
2. Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
3. In another bowl, whisk eggs and sugar with an electric mixer on high speed for 5 minutes, or until fluffy. Add vanilla.
4. Sift the dry ingredients into the egg mixture and fold carefully with a spatula until smooth and homogeneous.
5. Pour the batter onto a prepared baking tray lined with parchment paper and spread evenly.
6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Let the cake cool for 4 minutes. Place a new piece of parchment paper on top, then flip the cake onto a large board or another baking tray. Cover with a kitchen cloth and carefully roll the cake like a burrito. Allow it to cool while maintaining its shape.

Mascarpone Cream

Ingredients:

• 500 g (about 2 cups) mascarpone
• 100 g (about 1/2 cup) whipping cream
• 100 g (about 1/2 cup) powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Add all the ingredients to a bowl and whisk with an electric mixer on medium speed for no more than 30 seconds, until just combined.

Assembling the Yule Log

You’ll need:

• 1 jar of GOOD GOOD’s Choco Hazel spread

Instructions:

1. Carefully unroll the cooled Swiss roll cake. Spread a layer of GOOD GOOD’s Choco Hazel spread (about 1/3 of the jar) evenly over the surface.
2. Top with the mascarpone cream and spread evenly.
3. Gently roll the cake back up and refrigerate for 1 hour.
4. After chilling, cut 1/4 of the cake diagonally and place it on the side of the roll to mimic a log branch.
5. Spread the remaining Choco Hazel spread over the entire log and decorate with a dusting of powdered sugar for a festive touch.

This Choco Hazel Yule Log Cake is perfect for celebrating the season or impressing guests with its elegant look and irresistible taste.
