Ingredients
Scale
5 Large Eggs
100 g Caster Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
60 g Plain Flour
40 g Cocoa Powder
300 ml Double (Heavy) Cream
0.5 Tablespoon Icing Sugar
2–3 Tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
400 ml Double (Heavy) Cream
300 g Dark Chocolate
100 g Milk Chocolate
1 Tablespoon Icing Sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C for fan ovens) or 350°F. Grease and line a 23x33cm (9×13 inch) swiss roll tin with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 5 large room-temperature eggs and 100g caster sugar using an electric mixer on high speed for about 5 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, gently folding just until combined.
Sift together 60g plain flour and 40g cocoa powder into the egg mixture. Carefully fold the dry ingredients in with a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until springy and golden.
Once baked, remove from the oven and invert the sponge onto a clean sheet of baking paper. Roll it tightly and let it cool completely.
For the ganache, heat 400ml double cream in a medium saucepan until simmering, then pour it over 300g chopped dark chocolate and stir until smooth.
Whip 300ml double cream with 0.5 tablespoon of icing sugar until soft peaks form, then fold in 2-3 tablespoons of Baileys Irish Cream.
Unroll the cooled sponge and spread the whipped cream filling evenly. Roll it back up tightly without the baking paper.
Spread the cooled ganache over the entire log and use a spatula to create bark-like textures.
Dust with 1 tablespoon of icing sugar for a snowy effect and add any desired decorations.
